About Wen Rising by JB Juke
History tells us of an ancient tribe known as the Ancestral Puebloans, often called the Anasazi which means ‘ancient enemy! Sometime around the year 1300, seemingly overnight, they all vanished. With their cities left abandoned for decades, archaeogists have found evidence of horrific violence and possibly even ritualistic cannibalism.
What if I told you their disappearance was the result of a forbidden love that spanned decades?
Meet Wen, a simple farmer who falls for the chief’s daughter, Aiyana. Her father has prearranged her marriage to the greatest warrior in the tribe and is unwilling to entertain any idea of her marrying a farmer.
In a wild attempt to earn her father’s blessing, Wen joins the warrior clan. His lack of warrior experience is the least of his problems as he stumbles across an ancient spirit named Digo, who latches on to him, manipulating his every move.
Racing against time, will Wen be able to overcome Digo’s influence and stop the marriage in time?
Can Aiyana convince her father to call off the wedding?
Will their secret relationship survive or will it be the downfall of the entire tribe?

“I love writing stories that I would love to see play out on the big screen!”
JB Juke from Kimberly, Alabama, loves to sit in a dark theatre watching the latest science fiction or superhero movie in RealD 3D with the surround sound cranked up to the max. While watching movies, either in a theatre or on TV, he often rewrote scenes or endings in his head. Always thinking, what he would do differently? In that vein, he sought out to write stories that he would love to read and hopes that you will enjoy them also.
When not writing, he enjoys spending time with his family or out on a dirt road, mountain side or desert on a dual sport motorcycle, riding in spots all over the United States. A large portion of the landscape and locations of his books are inspired by many trips out west to Moab, Utah or the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.
