Afterglow Defiance Ignited (Afterglow Rising Trilogy Book 2)

By: Stacey LP

We rose from the ashes and now it's time to fight— for earth, for humanity, for hope, for love. But there is always a price. And survival always requires sacrifice. Can the world end more than once? Because that’s what it feels like when Alina finds herself in a situation that is all too familiar—and not in a comforting way. But this time? She’s ready to fight. Meanwhile, Jason and Carter form an unlikely alliance as they embark on a mission of their own. But will they come out on the other side as heroes? Or is this a fool’s errand driven by irrational hearts? And what about the others? With forces of evil too close to home, in a battle pinning humanity against itself—which side do you choose? To live? Or to survive? Together, they were strong enough to face the end of the world… Will they find their way back to each other? Or will the flames they ignite burn too bright to ever return? Afterglow Rising is a character-driven, post-apocalyptic, light sci-fi trilogy. Set in Austin, TX, survivors fight to move past the aftermath of an alien invasion. Little do they know, their fight has only just begun. With vicious creatures, abduction victims returning, and other looming threats, our main characters must figure out how to put the fractured pieces of themselves back together—lest they be reclaimed by the flames in the afterglow. Afterglow has a diverse ensemble cast that includes queer representation and main characters in their thirties. There are elements of found family, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, heart-pounding action, and slow-burn romance. Book one, Afterglow Rising From the Ashes, is available NOW on KindleUnlimited ebook & paperback.
