The 39 Clues Book 11: Vespers Rising - Coming April 5, 2011

Powerful enemies —the Vespers— have been waiting in the shadows of the Clue hunt.
Now it's their time to rise and the world will never be the same.

In Vespers Rising, a brand new 39 Clues novel, take a whirlwind trip through Cahill history and uncover secrets too explosive to reveal during the Clue hunt.

  • Travel back to the days of Gideon Cahill and Damien Vesper to read about the rivalry that shattered the Cahill family . . . and changed the fate of the world.
  • Learn about Madeleine Cahill's first chilling encounter with Damien and how it inspired her to form the Madrigal branch.
  • Follow thirteen-year-old Grace Cahill as she embarks on her very first mission during one of the most dangerous moments of the 20th century.
  • Finally, flash forward to the present to join Amy and Dan as they prepare to fight their new enemy—the Cahills' historic rivals—the Vespers.

Bestselling authors Rick Riordan, Peter Lerangis, Gordon Korman and Jude Watson take on the hidden history of the Cahills and the Vespers, and the last, terrible legacy Grace Cahill leaves for Amy and Dan.
