King of the Rising (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780316454940)

King of the Rising is the searing conclusion to an unflinching and powerful Caribbean-inspired fantasy series about colonialism, resilience, and defiance.

A revolution has swept through the islands of Hans Lollik and former slave Loren Jannik has been chosen to lead the survivors in a bid to free the islands forever.

But the rebels are running out of food, weapons, and options. And as the Fjern inch closer to reclaiming Hans Lollik with every battle, Loren is faced with a choice that could shift the course of the revolution in their favor -- or doom it to failure.

Praise for Islands of Blood and Storm:

"A powerful look at colonialism, oppression, and rebellion, and all that it can cost the individuals involved." --Library Journal (starred review)

"The book's absorbing setting, captivating lead, and relevant themes of race and class complement each other with alternating delicacy and savagery."--NPR Books

"King of the Rising puts readers firmly into the minds of Callender's unforgettable characters as it answers a spine-tingling set of questions: At the end of the war, who will survive and who will rule?" --BookPage
