The Rise: Crimson Shadow Collection Pt 1

This box set includes the first two books in the Crimson Shadow series by USA Today bestselling author, Nathan Squiers, as well as two prequels, a cross-over, AND The Dirty Dozen, a collection of 12 short stories, all-in-one! Over 800 pages of action, horror, and psychologically-driven urban fantasy.

Xander Stryker had seen more darkness before his eighteenth birthday than any should face in a single lifetime. So when he is given the chance at a new life, he takes it. Awakening anew into a world of vampires and other creatures of darkness—a world he has unknowingly always been a part of—he finds himself struggling in a new sort of darkness, but one he is prepared to face.

In this new life, he will struggle against trials from his past and threats against his future, all the while fighting his greatest enemy: himself. But Xander, despite the efforts of many (including himself), is not one to die easy. And as the son of the great Joseph Stryker, he’s got a legacy to uphold!

"Nathan Squiers did an excellent job of weaving all the intricate details of the story together, while keeping the intensity way up the entire time, never letting the story stagnate. I swear there was never a dull moment. Each character is incredibly detailed and had their own distinct voice. The story was engaging, and my heart broke for Xander and all that happened to him, while I hoped and hoped he would triumph in the end." – D&S S. Reviews ★★★★★
