Ascension ~
From best selling and award winning author Stacey Rourke comes the heart-pounding continuation of the acclaimed Gryphon Series.
The turning point of the Gryphon saga is at hand … Battle
looms. Three unstoppable forces prepare to clash in a colossal
explosion that could wipe Gainesboro off the map. Fate and sacred
calling have landed nineteen year old Celeste Garrett in the middle with
nowhere to run.
Her trust wavers as
she uncovers dark secrets of the Council, powerful enough to test her
loyalty and turn her against those she swore to protect. Playing to the
longing of her heart, a malevolent enemy uses her weakness against her
to form an alliance.
With the trumpets of war about to sound, which side will the Conduit choose, and who will be left standing?
Illustrator Crystal Ord will be bringing some of your favorite Gryphon Series characters to life!
