Jez Cajiao’s Arise series is a ten-book run published between 2022 and 2024. It starts with Alpha and Dark Crusader, both released in 2022, and then picks up speed with multiple entries per year through 2024. The rapid release schedule is typical of Cajiao’s output, and the series reached its conclusion with Conqueror.
The title pattern is worth noting. Several entries appear in pairs: Arise: Reclaimer alongside Reclaimer, Arise: Devourer alongside Devourer, and so on. The “Arise:” prefix versions and the standalone titles seem to be connected editions or alternate formats of the same story beats, which can be confusing at first glance. The naming convention runs from Reclaimer through Devourer, Explorer, and Conqueror, each word suggesting a new phase or level of progression.
With ten books in roughly three years, this is a series built for readers who like to binge. The titles move from Alpha through increasingly aggressive names, and the pace of publication means there is no long wait between installments.
