Rising Storm

A hijacked cruise ship. A deadly virus unleashed. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance...
In a near future devastated by famine and disease, the United States balances on the cusp of collapse.

When terrorists hijack a lavish cruise ship, wealthy Amelia Black is forced into hiding with Gabriel Rivera, an enigmatic stranger with a dangerous secret. He's her only hope--if she can trust him.

Despite their overwhelming differences--and the killers hunting them--the pair must form an unlikely alliance to survive. As the lines between enemies and allies blur, they uncover a new catastrophic threat: a world-ending bioweapon hidden on the ship.

What starts out as a single, terrifying incident will soon evolve into a race to save mankind from an extinction-level event...

With hundreds of five-star reviews, thousands of sales, and millions of pages read, this explosive post-apocalyptic series features compelling characters, fast-paced dystopian action, and ripped-from-the-headlines twists.

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

"I was captivated by Kyla's writing style and storytelling. Kyla's words are delicious. I'm talking, Cookie Monster going after an entire plate of macaroons kind of delicious. I could go on (and on) about this book. I guess what I'm saying is: read it. Whether you like YA or adult, prefer literary or genre fiction, this is one of those stories that nearly anyone can find a piece of themselves within." - Holly Jennings
