When a wraith crosses back into the land of the fleshy and walking, it is said to have become a Risen. This book details the process of how a wraith becomes a Risen, the dangers involved, and the other information a player needs to create and play Risen characters in the Wraith system.

Merits and flaws are particularly interesting, as are the special needs and restrictions placed upon the undead.

The editing of this text is superior to most White Wolf products, and the theme of the work, obsession, is artfully thrust into the reader's hands.
