The old gods will rise. Humanity will fall.

Ebook, delivered by Bookfunnel, read on any device.

Ben Henare has forsaken his Maori heritage: choosing the modern world over a life following the old ways. His best friend, Lucy Champion, is a woman of logic: training to become a doctor, she believes only in science. Neither of them has room in their lives for the fantastic, the unexplained, or the supernatural.

But when a tsunami floods their city, killing Lucy’s parents and endangering Ben’s people, their beliefs must change. The tsunami has awakened powers, ancient and deadly. The old gods have risen.

Long have they watched people’s abuse of each other and the natural world; at last the gods have had enough. They will protect the world… by destroying all humankind.

Now, Ben and Lucy have only days left. To fight their way across a country shattered by devastation. To protect the magic artifacts now entrusted to their care. And to deliver those artifacts to the gods themselves: offerings that might — just might — appease the powers of destruction.

Pursued by human traffickers who have kidnapped Lucy’s sister, hunted by the gods’ warrior spirits and supernatural assassins, Ben and Lucy must forget all they know, and sacrifice everything they love to protect their country from the greatest threat ever known: the wrath of the Risen Gods.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author J.F. Penn teams up with acclaimed dark fantasy author J. Thorn to bring you a thrilling adventure.

Mixing the Maori mythology of Aotearoa/New Zealand, supernatural thriller, and high-stakes suspense into an adventure you don’t want to miss, Risen Gods will take you to places you’ve never dreamed.

★★★★★
"I wasn't sure I'd like a book of this type, but I was completely blown away. What a mixture of horror and the mystical, characters and their relationships, and thundering thrills at every turn.
I couldn't stop reading, ran down the battery on my Paper White and immediately ran to read it on my phone. I've *never* done that before."

"What a exciting story! I loved the fast pace and the supernatural danger that the protagonists faced ... one of the things I love best in any story is learning new things, and the ancient Maori gods are a thrill to learn about ... Although I don't usually read horror or even thrillers, this book captured my imagination in a wonderful way."

"Risen Gods is a page turner that walks the line between a dark fantasy setting and a fast paced thriller. I flew through this book, wanting to know what happened ... Expertly woven into the story are tidbits on the Maori Gods and descriptions of New Zealand that feels fresh ...the perfect book to read at the beach or on a plane."

"Nonstop action. Maybe even a little too much action. But that is what thrillers are for. Still, I'd like a breather between the world falling apart.
All-in-all a good read. Anyone who likes fast-paced stories and a dash of creepy stuff will enjoy this novel."

In Risen Gods ...

Ben and Lucy must battle their way north, facing the demons and Maori risen gods who stand in their way.

J.F. Penn lived in New Zealand / Aotearoa for six years and traveled across the country researching myths and legends. The story is based on real places and creatures from Maori myth, and inspired by the earthquake and tsunami that hit Christchurch in 2011.
