The Rising

When construction disturbs forgotten ground in New Orleans, the city remembers. Drums echo in the streets, chains rise from the river, and revenants climb from the soil to deliver vengeance long denied.

Renard, a struggling writer, becomes their unwilling witness. With Jalove, whose coin binds him to the past, and Celeste, whose prayers hold the storm at bay, he must record the truth as the dead reclaim their voices. But every word he writes pulls him deeper into terror—and closer to the weight of centuries demanding justice.

The Rising is a Southern gothic horror where history refuses silence, and the living learn the price of forgetting the dead.
