Eighteen-year-old Amanda is no hero, and she has no desire to be. All Amanda wants is to leave her small town for college, compete in karate, and find some way to understand her weird, precocious six-year-old sister, Saira. Being chosen by an ancient deity to become the acolyte of truth is nowhere on Amanda's plan for the future, but that doesn't stop it from happening to her: after Amanda survives a car accident, she awakens with the power to summon guns from thin air and know instantly when someone is lying to her. And that's not even the worst part—the deity that saved Amanda expects her to use her new powers to protect the world, starting with defeating Jamie Connor, an acolyte of death who plans to steal the life forces of children to save his own dying son.
Soon, Amanda is plunged into a world of legendary deities and powerful acolytes, secret agencies and deadly forces. She never asked to become some kind of savior, but after Jamie targets her own sister, she realizes the only way she'll ever be able to keep the people she cares about safe is to rise up, confront her own fears, and become all she was destined to be.
Though "Rise of the Savior: Acolyte of Truth" is a prequel to the first novel, "Rise of the Hearts" it also functions as a standalone story.
