The Rising Order: Book 2
Publication Date: April 29, 2025
Chicago has fallen and Flynn Zarytsky, an unwilling accomplice in the city’s takeover by REDS, has gone into hiding. As she and her fellow Allies, rebels to the new terrorist regime, scrounge for supplies and survival among the darkened buildings, measures grow desperate. When a meeting gone awry sends Flynn across the path of a familiar face, she’s flung once more into a troubled partnership that could determine the city’s fate.
Alliances are formed and tested as Flynn, Nate, and their comrades create an ambitious plan that could save the nation—or get them all killed. If they want any chance of success, they must learn to place trust and hope in unlikely places. Can redemption be found for those who have done the most harm but suffered the deepest hurt? Is forgiveness, empathy, even love possible among the broken pieces of REDS’s new order?
The action continues in this final installment of Claire Isenthal’s thrilling series, a page-turning read not to be missed.
With Chicago overrun by a group of homegrown terrorists, the solution just might be in the hands of the woman who unwillingly kicked off the dramatic events.
The New Order marks the follow-up to The New Order by Claire Isenthal, leading to a powerful conclusion.
The author uses alternating perspectives to continue the story through Flynn and Wolf. With the REDS now in charge, Flynn joins a group of rebels. However, the terrorist group weaponizes the media to maintain control.
The dynamic between Flynn and Wolf continues to drive the action. Although separated by their beliefs, Flynn manages to make it through Wolf’s hardened exterior. Ultimately, the story will make readers ponder the concept of redemption as Flynn and the rebels engage in a risky plan.
The New Order successfully wraps up a thrilling adventure full of complex plot twists.
