In the not-too-distant post-pandemic future, Ireland embraces a new High King, born of the blood of the old kings, and some say, the blood of the Goddess herself.


All Ian Shaw ever wanted involved two things: make partner at his law firm and surf California's most dangerous waves. But when his grandfather discovers a mysterious chalice dug from the Irish bogland of their ancestral home, powerful forces threaten murder to stifle the prophecy it pledges. Ian's life changes forever when he travels to Ireland, to his grandfather's side, and to a promise he can't possibly keep.

Saorla O'Rourke, brilliant, beautiful, and borderline suicidal, serves as an Irish History professor at Trinity College, Dublin. She mourns the death of her beloved husband and has lost sight of everything she holds dear. When Ian enlists her to solve the mystery held by the chalice, she fights for the life she once wanted to end, for the faith she thought she had lost forever, and for the love she can't possibly have.

Lorcan Duihbur, powerful, shrewd, elusive, deadly, holds office as Ireland's Minister of Foreign Affairs. The rise in the return to paganism has fed both his side job as a black-market-antiquity dealer and his desire for human sacrifice. Loyal to the Goddess, he will stop at nothing to negate the power of the prophecy.
The prophecy of Saint Patrick has the power to transform a nation in a day. But will it be brought to light before the darkness swallows it forever?

MICHAEL PENOSKY

MICHAEL “MICK” PENOSKY is an expert storyteller who writes thrilling novels of romantic suspense with a faith-filled supernatural world view. The Rising (2022) and The Turning (2023) are epic adventures set in modern-day Ireland, involving a quest to find an ancient prophecy.

Mick was a starting guard for Arkansas State University's basketball team. He holds a Juris Doctorate from Northern Illinois University and is currently a member of the Illinois State Bar. For two decades, he served as senior attorney/law clerk for the former Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court. Mick is now a full-time writer and will soon release a third novel about a Chicago sports agent.

As a student at Saint Patrick’s Grade School, Mick developed a love for Saint Patrick and all things Irish. That love led to a dozen trips to the Emerald Isle and the writing of The Patrician Prophecy Series. When he is not writing, he dusts the cobwebs from his basketball jump shot to challenge his teenage boys. He lives in the Carolinas with his wife Laura, their five children, and his faithful Lab retriever, Colter.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rising, Michael Pensosky - READ IT

I was referred to author Penosky by a friend in Chicago… And it was a Terrific referral.

The book is rewardingly interesting, based upon the Irish heritage, but warmly complemented by the intrigue of the characters.

I don’t read a lot of novels, but this book “The Rising” was quite enjoyable, and captured my mindset as I found myself virtually walking with the Characters.

I bought this book to read on vacation!! It was so good I couldn’t put it down and finished it within the first couple days! The main characters Ian and Saorla where so likable and interesting from the start. The plot was suspenseful. The descriptions of Ireland were spot on and made me feel like I was there and I was longing to go back. I found the history of St Patrick fascinating. I cannot wait to read the next book part 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars An adventure in Ireland!

This story unwinds with mystery and adventure! At first, it seems like several separate, almost unrelated, mini stories until they all cleanly weave together. I enjoyed the saga of Ian and Soarla pulled into the mystery of the prophecy, and the descriptions of the Irish countryside captured my imagination. I have always wanted to visit Ireland, and the backdrop to the story highlights a beautiful location for the setting. It would be a breath-taking film. You will get sucked into their world!

The Rising blends amazing research of Ireland and St Patrick, together with villains and hero’s. Early character development brings surprise meetings and connections later in the novel. I can’t put it down and look forward to the second half book release.
I read on Kindle, but will order hard copy for my bookshelf.
Well done.

This is my first book read from this author and I can’t wait for more! I enjoyed the character development and internal growth, the cultural and historical context and the inviting and almost mythic storyline. I recommended this book to my wife and daughter who are both avid readers. Don’t miss out!
