Description:
For fans of Cassandra Clare and Richelle Mead comes the unputdownable
sequel to The Stars Never Rise, a book Rachel Caine, author of the bestselling
Morganville Vampires series, called “haunting,
unsettling, and eerily beautiful.”
ONE SPARK WILL RISE. Nina Kane was born to be an exorcist. And since
uncovering the horrifying truth—that the war against demons is far from
over—seventeen-year-old Nina and her pregnant younger sister, Mellie, have been
on the run, incinerating the remains of the demon horde as they go.
In the badlands, Nina, Mellie, and Finn, the fugitive and rogue
exorcist who saved her life, find allies in a group of freedom fighters. They
also face a new threat: Pandemonia, a city full of demons. But this fresh new
hell is the least of Nina’s worries. The well of souls ran dry more than a
century ago, drained by the demons secretly living among humans, and without a
donor soul, Mellie’s child will die within hours of its birth.
Nina isn’t about to let that happen . . . even if it
means she has to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Sixteen-year-old Nina Kane should be worrying about her immortal soul,
but she's too busy trying to actually survive. Her town's population has been
decimated by soul-consuming demons, and souls are in short supply. Watching
over her younger sister, Mellie, and scraping together food and money are all
that matters. The two of them are a family. They gave up on their deadbeat mom
a long time ago.
When Nina discovers that Mellie is keeping a secret that threatens
their very existence, she'll do anything to protect her. Because in New
Temperance, sins are prosecuted as crimes by the brutal Church and its army of
black-robed exorcists. And Mellie's sin has put her in serious trouble.
To keep them both alive, Nina will need to trust Finn, a fugitive with
deep green eyes who has already saved her life once and who might just be an
exorcist. But what kind of exorcist wears a hoodie?
Wanted by the Church and hunted by dark forces, Nina
knows she can't survive on her own. She needs Finn and his group of rogue
friends just as much as they need her.
Interview with Rachel by her sixteen-year-old daughter
(Codename: Melody), who’s thinking about actually reading her mother’s book.
Melody: So, this is a series is about demons, right?
Rachel: Sort of. Not really. A century ago, Nina’s world was
invaded by residents of another reality who can only remain in our world by
taking over a human body. People called them demons, because that’s the only
association they had for the concept of possession.
Melody: So these “demons” aren’t actually bad?
Rachel: Oh, no, they’re totally bad. They’re entertained by
the suffering of humanity. They’re just not the residents of hell most people
think of when they hear “demon.” But that’s all I can say without spoiling
anything from THE STARS NEVER RISE!
Melody: Okay. But if they’re not religious demons, why is
the government in this world run by the Church?
Rachel: Because people assumed that only the Holy could
fight the unholy. So a fictional “Church” stepped in to do just that. To fill
the power vacuum, when secular government couldn’t protect the people.
Melody: So THE STARS NEVER RISE is a book about faith?
Rachel: No. It’s a book about false faith. About the frailty of untested beliefs. About how accepting
everything you hear as the truth can mean living a lie. That’s true with every predatory situation, from abusive
relationships to investment scams. I just chose to tell that story on a larger
scale, where the entire world has accepted a lie because it was easier to
believe a hero has come to save us than to stand up and fight our own battles.
Take from that what you will… ;)
Melody: Wow, Mom. That was deep. (Teenage eye roll.)
About Rachel Vincent:
Rachel Vincent is a former English teacher and an eager champion of
the Oxford comma. She shares her home in Oklahoma with two cats, two teenagers,
and her husband, who’s been her # 1 fan from the start. Rachel is older than
she looks and younger than she feels, and she remains convinced that writing
about the things that scare her is the cheapest form of therapy—but social
media is a close second.
