Ravens Rise

Jena Krieger grew up in a dirty little village on the edge of civilization during the twilight of humanity. Life in Hammett, Idaho was bucolic for most, but Jena struggles against nearly every one and every thing except her aging and beloved grandfather; known once to the entire world as Krieger the Killer, hero of the alien war. Her early life in a fractured home is prelude to an inevitably frustrating adolescence and though she matures into an exceptionally bright and resourceful young woman she remains torn between social expectations and family heritage. A series of tragic events forces Jena to turn her back on her community and strike out on her own to face the impossible and kick its ass. The vast landscape of southern Idaho, from sagebrush plains to mountain wilderness, is the stage on which is played a fight for vengeance, identity, and dignity. It is a world filled with sheep and scavengers; a world desperately in need of predators. Ravens Rise is a redemptive tale about the imperative of dreams and sacrifice as well as a warning that victory and liberation can bring great suffering and isolation.
