Department 19: The Rising

Department 19: The Rising is the second book in the Department 19 series by Will Hill.

Description
91 days till zero hour. That's 91 days to run. 91 days to hide. Or 91 days to pray for Department 19 to save you...

After the terrifying attack on Lindisfarne at the end of the first book, Jamie, Larissa and Kate are recovering at Department 19 headquarters, waiting for news of Dracula's stolen ashes.

They won't be waiting for long.

Vampire forces are gathering. Old enemies are getting too close. And Dracula... is rising.

Sixteen-year-old Jamie Carpenter's life was violently upended when he was brought into Department 19, a classified government agency of vampire hunters that was formed to deal with a little problem... known as Dracula.

But being the new recruit at the Department isn't all weapons training and covert missions. Jamie's own mother has been turned into a vampire ‒ and now Jamie will stop at nothing to wreak revenge on her captors. Even if that means facing down Dracula himself.

Opening quotes
"I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

- Robert Frost

"How much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow."

- Victor Frankenstein
