Two years have passed since Forever Carlyle
was betrayed on the battlefield, and now the Carlyle Family finds itself
surrounded on all sides, running out of both time and options, as the Conclave
War claims friends and allies alike in an ongoing war of attrition. With time
running out for her Family, Johanna goes on the attack with a strategy that
relies on the Carlyle Lazarus-Forever-standing fast at her side. And
while the war takes its toll as Lazarus fights Lazarus, the next Forever
Carlyle-the 14-year-old known as "Eight" who is being groomed
for service-finds herself in a life-or-death struggle of a different kind.
The secrets are taking their toll, and when they come out, the results will be
shattering.
Collects LAZARUS: RISEN
#1-3
"The world now lies divided not amongst political or geographic boundaries but amongst financial ones. Wealth is power, and that power rests with only a handful of families. And now those families are at war... Two years have passed since current Carlyle Lazarus Forever was betrayed on the battlefield, and now the Carlyle Family finds itself surrounded on all sides. With time running out for her Family, Johanna recruits Forever to go on the attack. As Lazarus fights Lazarus, the next Forever Carlyle in training, 14-year-old 'Eight', finds herself in a life-or-death struggle of a different kind."--Provided by publisher.
"Fans of Rucka and Lark's Gotham Central or Ed
Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Sleeper will enjoy this rich universe."
