Dissension – Chronicles of the Uprising:
Book 1
The great
cataclysm wiped almost all life from the face of planet Earth, but tiny pockets
of survivors crawled from the ashes, with only one thought: survival, at any
cost.
But not all
survivors were human.
In the dark,
militant society that has risen in the aftermath, vampires, once thought to be
mythical, have been assimilated and enslaved. Used for blood sport their lives
are allowed to continue only for the entertainment of the masses. Reviled as
savages, they are destined to serve out their immortal lives in the arena, as
gladiators.
And there is
no greater gladiator than Mira: undefeated, uncompromising...and seemingly
unbreakable. When an escape attempt leads Mira into the path of Lucian Stavros,
the city’s Regent, her destiny is changed forever.
Lucian,
raised in a culture which both reviles and celebrates the savagery and
inhumanity of vampires, finds Mira as intriguing as she is brash. An impulsive
decision - to become Mira’s patron – changes more than just Lucian’s perception
about vampire kind. The course of his
life is altered in ways he could never have predicted – a life that is suddenly
as expendable as hers.
Can Mira
prove to Lucian that all is not as it seems? Can Lucian escape centuries of
lies, bloodshed, and propaganda to see the truth? Or will the supreme power of
the human overlords destroy them both?
