The stunning conclusion to A.E. Warren's brilliant Tomorrow's Ancestors series.

The future is within their grasp - can they rise to meet it? In this powerful conclusion to the Tomorrow's Ancestors series, the rebels of Uracil have one final choice to make.

After the devastating attack on Uracil, the safety it once offered Elise and her friends has been shattered. Desperate, alone, and scared, they need to find the residents captured during the attack and create a new place of safety before they are found once more.

But how can they ever truly feel safe when they suspect there is a traitor among them?

And when Samuel and Genevieve unexpectedly return, it throws things even further into disarray. With competing motivations and loyalties around every corner, should they focus on finding safety for themselves, or try once more to change the world for the better?

Can they rise, one final time?

About the Author

A.E. Warren is the author of the Tomorrow's Ancestors series, which consists of Subject Twenty-One, The Hidden Base, The Fourth Species and The Final Rising.

She self-published her first novels in her spare time, which were picked up by Del Rey UK which is the science fiction/fantasy imprint of Penguin Random House.
