A deeply human story of grit, betrayal, and the kind of redemption money can't buy.Will Clay was born with nothing but dirt under his boots and dreams too big for a Kentucky coal town. Raised in the shadows of addiction, poverty, and a father he could never reach, Will spent a lifetime trying to break free-from the past, from the hills, from himself.Then one day, everything changes. A Powerball ticket. A hundred million dollars. A second chance at everything.But success brings new problems: family turning cold, advisors turning shady, and a trail of backstabbers in tailored suits. As Will builds his empire and tries to do right by his past-founding a charity, reconnecting with his son, honoring the friends and ghosts who shaped him-federal investigators close in. Someone inside his circle is framing him.Rise is the raw, emotionally charged first installment of the Rise Trilogy-a sweeping story of Appalachia, ambition, and what happens when a man who clawed his way out of the holler finds himself dragged back in.
