Summary:
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.
The Interview
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.)
Rachel: (shrugs)
There’s also lots of fighting, kissing, and setting demons on fire.
