Book 4
Dylan Dover: New Order Rising

Dylan Dover: New Order Rising is the fourth book in the Dylan Dover series, which furthers the development of the warlock siblings Dylan, Remy, Seth and Siri, and Dylan’s best friend, Thea who is a wizard. While the main characters and the immortal world established in the first three books are continued, New Order Rising can stand alone from the three predecessors as the storyline and villains are new, the characters have been aged, and the themes are more mature.

New Order Rising is directed to a Young Adult audience, as opposed to the Middle Grade target for the first three books of the series.

Three years have passed since the battle with Baltazar (the vampire who wanted to take over all immortals and destroy the siblings of the prophecy), and Dylan, Remy, Seth and Siri have been living relatively normal lives, considering that they have extraordinary powers as the siblings of the prophecy.  Dylan has been living in the mortal realm, back with his adoptive human parents and Thea has been living just down the street, hiding her magical powers to blend in with human society.  Seth has been residing happily underneath the ocean in the human dimension, while Remy and Siri have been living with their biological warlock parents in the immortal world.  They have been called back to the immortal dimension by Atticus and Callista (the co-leaders of immortals) numerous times over the years for further education and training as the future leaders of the supernatural world, but now, a much more urgent summons has been sent. 

The Ministry has been receiving cryptic messages from unknown sources that use symbols from Greek mythology, specifically the Trojan War, which are raising concerns about a brewing rebellion.  It seems that Baltazar’s plan is being perpetrated by new enemies. While there is no immortal powerful enough to defeat the siblings in a magical confrontation, this new adversary is using additional tools to cause havoc, and to spread the call to arms to defeat the current regime.

In Book 4, new characters emerge including the Greek gods Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Atticus discovers a warlock daughter that he never knew existed, who comes to live with him in the immortal world and becomes a new friend and love interest for Dylan.  New enemies emerg eas well, who will stop at nothing to defeat Atticus and Callista and prevent the siblings from ever assuming power.

As the siblings and their allies work to discover who is spearheading the revolt against the regime, and how to stop a full-fledged rebellion, they must also grapple with their own emotions and burgeoning identities.  Each of the siblings must confront their deepest fears and what they discover about themselves as they are maturing into adulthood will resonate strongly with all readers. Themes including self-identity, friendship, family, first loves, belonging, facing adversity, social justice and governance are all strongly at the heart of this novel.

The threat posed by Baltazar was quelled years before, but these new dangers once again put all immortals at risk of destruction, with the siblings at the crux of the conflict.
