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?

My Review:
5 Stars
I LOVE Ascension!, November 19, 2013
I have a confession to make. I know Stacey is über talented, but I truly wondered how she could top Sacrifice. I mean that was like the whipped cream & cherries on our Gryphon sundae! Well...you will be happy to hear that we have been gifted the sprinkles & nuts to our now deluxe sundae, people!! ;*}
I LOVE love LOVE this series!!!! She totally brought the awesome (as she always does) in Ascension! Forgive me for ever doubting you!! But...in my defense...if you've read & loved this series as much as I then you KNOW how amazing Sacrifice was, & you will completely understand my momentary delusion.
If you are new to the awesome that is Stacey Rourke then just know ... her books are fabulous, her characters so addicting you can't get enough, drama so afflicting you will feel it all, laughter so contagious concerned bystanders will stop to inquire, & "the end" may push you to bribery as you find yourself begging her for more. A hilarious action packed YA Paranormal Adventure of a lifetime with gryphons, demons, shifters, & so much more!

~ Stacey Rourke ~
There is nothing worse than being put on the spot and asked to talk about yourself. For me it brings back that inevitable moment in a new school when the teacher would ask me to stand up, introduce myself and tell the class something about myself. I was always worried I would blurt out something stupid that I would get teased for. Something like, “My name’s Stacey and I like pickles!” Then for the rest of the school year I’d be known as the Pickle Girl and let’s be honest, no one wants that. So to avoid such a faux pas I will simply say that I love to write. It allows me to get my crazy out just enough that I can function as a normal member of society.
Best selling award winning author of the Laugh-out Loud Gryphon Series and the nonfiction book I'm Not Crazy I'm on Lupron; a Journey Through Infertility.
