The Uprising Series tells the story of three freedom fighters and their friends in high -- and low -- places that come together to overthrow a vainglorious Emperor and his militaristic Cabal to restore the city, and the way of life, they once knew and loved.In The Gathering, Jamie Ryan has defected from the Cabal and has joined his former brothers-in-arms -- Basile Perrinault and Kanoa Shinomura -- to form a collective known as The Uprising. When an explosion leads to him crossing paths with Evanora Cunningham -- a product of Jamie's past -- he discovers that The Uprising is bigger, and more important, than he thought.
