This magnificent book was just released on September 1, 2026. Uprising is an incredible historical fiction novel woven with enchanted magic in medieval England. 

J.E. Rizzo’s book Uprising, Book One of the Fitzjohn Duology, is a beautifully written tale of a harrowing and complex time in England’s past: the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. The history is accurate, and the people, especially the main character, Blanche, are brought to life through Ms. Rizzo’s attention to detail and exceptionally well-written descriptions. Elements of magic are carefully woven into the story, blending seamlessly with the novel’s historical elements. If you enjoy works by Philippa Gregory, you’ll want to read this novel. — Kelly Evans, author of The Confessor’s Wife and The Beggar Queen

J.E. Rizzo is a life-long history fanatic and writer of historical fiction, and her work can be found in Vanity Fair, The Boston Globe, The Guardian, The Tudor Times, Tudor Life Magazine, Scary Mommy, and Ultrarunning Magazine. Rizzo’s debut novel, Uprising, Book One of the Fitzjohn Duology, is forthcoming from Literary Wanderlust, and tells the story of Blanche Fitzjohn, a fourteenth century neurodivergent woman whose perceived disabilities become superpowers during England’s peasant uprising of 1381. 

Rizzo won Manuscript Academy’s Agent Choice Award in 2024.
