The Rise

Who are we? Why are we here? And what's our purpose?

When the first woman wakes up in a field, these are the questions she asks, and begins to search for answers to in the vast new world that's been created for her. When she meets the first man, and they begin to build a life together through the guidance of those that watch over them, the questions become more urgent as betrayal and temptation intrude on peace, conflict comes to Heaven and those above, and love in all its many forms and functions is tested, both above and in Creation.

Compassionately and eloquently narrated by an unnamed angel who goes on to become the world's first guardian angel, this is a bold and provocative portrayal of our first hours that's only been hinted at in ancient texts, as it follows the early life of the first woman and man, and portrays her as the hero of our origin, rather than the opposite of that.

Fresh, original, and fearless in its storytelling, The Rise is a timeless story of Angels and God, Heaven and Earth, Humans and their Nature, and a profound and thought-provoking exploration of the world's first, greatest, and most enduring love story.
