The first book in Foster’s The Rift Uprising series is a fun, fast-paced outing that hits the ground running with brilliant worldbuilding and a fiercely protective heroine.
“High emotional stakes and an intriguing premise make this first entry in Foster's new trilogy a solid next read for those who enjoyed Pierce Brown's Red Rising or Veronica Roth's Divergent."" -- Library Journal
An alternate reality that feels all-too-real, The Rift Uprising is the explosive start to a new trilogy that blurs the line between parallel universes-not to mention YA and adult science fiction-from acclaimed lyricist and storyteller Amy S. Foster.
Seventeen-year-old Ryn Whittaker is a Citadel: an elite, enhanced soldier specially chosen to guard a Rift, a mysterious and dangerous portal to alternate Earths scientists cannot control or close. Trained from the age of fourteen, Ryn can run faster, jump farther, and fight better than a Navy SEAL-which is good when you're not sure if a laser-wielding Neanderthal or an axe-wielding Viking is trying to make it through the Rift and into*your world.
But the teenager's military conditioning and education have not prepared her for the boy who crosses through-a confused young man, seemingly lost and alone.*While there's an immediate physical attraction, it's his intelligence and curiosity that throws Ryn off balance. The stranger asks disturbing questions about the Rift that Ryn herself has never considered-questions that lead her to wonder if everything about her life and what she's been told these past six years has been a lie. Are the Rifts as dangerous as her leaders say? Should her people really try to close them . . . or learn how to travel through them?
