“High psychological stakes and an interesting premise make this first entry in Foster’s brand-new trilogy a good next read for those who loved Pierce Brown’s Red Rising or Veronica Roth’s Divergent.’ — Library Journal

Another reality that feels all-too-real, The Rift Uprising may be the explosive begin to a fresh trilogy that blurs the line between parallel universes-not to say YA and adult science fiction-from acclaimed lyricist and storyteller Amy S. Foster.

Seventeen-year-old Ryn Whittaker is normally a on the subject of The Rift Uprising: The Rift Uprising Trilogy, Book 1 Citadel: at the very top, enhanced soldier specially chosen to guard a Rift, a mysterious and harmful portal to alternate Earths researchers cannot control or close. Qualified from the age of fourteen, Ryn can run faster, jump further, and fight better than a Navy SEAL-which is good when you’re not sure if a laser-wielding Neanderthal or an axe-wielding Viking is wanting to make it through the Rift and into the world.

However the teenager’s army conditioning and education have not prepared her for the youngster who crosses through-a confused young man, seemingly lost and alone. While there’s an immediate physical attraction, it’s his cleverness and curiosity that throws Ryn off balance. The stranger asks disturbing queries about the Rift that Ryn herself hasn’t considered-questions that lead her to wonder if everything about her lifestyle and what she’s been told these past six years is a lie. Are the Rifts as dangerous as her market leaders say? Should her people actually make an effort to close them . or understand how to visit through them?
