Why She Rises

Jade Sorel was supposed to stay dead.

But hell did not bury her.

It raised her.

After the devastating ending of Why She Lies, Jade opens her eyes in a place where desire has a price, pain becomes power, and darkness already knows her name. She is no longer the same woman who lied to escape hunger, shame, and the life that marked her from childhood.

Now she has returned more beautiful, more dangerous, and more broken than ever.

Reborn as a Succubus serving an infernal force, Jade must seduce, destroy, and deliver the souls of men already condemned by their own sins. Every glance can become a trap. Every kiss can open a door to hell. Every act of power pulls her closer to the wicked woman David wants her to become.

But there is one soul hell cannot take easily.

Leo Navarro.

The man who loved her when she did not know how to receive love. The man who forgave her when it was already too late. The man whose purity becomes the most dangerous target of all.

As David tries to turn Jade's love into a weapon against Leo, she discovers that even in the deepest darkness, there may still be a crack. A wound. A memory. A chance to rise.

Why She Rises is the second and final book in The Jade Duology, a dark, emotional, and psychological story about desire, guilt, lies, damnation, and redemption.

Some women don't stay buried.

Some return to face the hell that created them.
