Runner up in the 2021 TCK Publishing Reader’s Choice Awards: Fantasy Genre At the age of five Lincoln was abandoned inexplicably at an orphanage by his father with nothing but a promise to return and an old wrist chain. 11 years later when seemingly ordinary 16-year-old Lincoln runs away from yet another foster home, heading to his favoured spot in New York City, he is attacked by a dog, a monstrous three headed dog the size of a truck. Becoming marked, a string of attacks follow, only ending when he is saved by El, Ben, and AJ, a group of enhanced people known as Ascendants. Discovering the world is not as it seems, with Sorcerers, Nature Spirits and demonic monsters all hiding in plain sight, he learns that he is a long-lost Ascendant himself; discovering that the chain his father left him was at the centre of a conspiracy that resulted in his abandonment and his father’s subsequent disappearance.

The group is split up. They were betrayed. Lincoln and Liv are trapped in the lost dimension, Nowhere and El and AJ are under house arrest, all the while their enemies grow closer to discovering the whereabouts of Gedeon’s lost ring… Purchase on Amazon!

Since dying over ten years ago, Lincoln is returning to his homeland, Abonerra. With the ring lost to their enemy, he must protect the chain at all costs. El is in mourning. She made herself one promise over 10 years ago... protect AJ with her life. She failed. Now she must return to her family home for the first time since her parent’s death so AJ can receive his final rights as he journeys to the Afterlands. Ben is in prison, and that’s exactly where he deserves to be. His actions led to AJ’s death and his father obtaining Gedeon’s lost ring. With Monty fighting for his freedom, Ben needs to battle his own inner demons to find justice for AJ.

Lincoln is finally free of Harksmear, yet he is plagued by horrific dreams - dreams that tell of an unchecked danger left in the Spring of Life. Returning to New York to begin his training as an Ascendant, life is not as he thought it would be. The Reaper is making moves, ordering his Ravaged to attack anybody and everybody in sight. Ben, reeling from what he had to do in the Spring of Life has focused all his attention on retrieving Liv's soul. He is led down a path of a long-lost group who may be the only people who know how to defeat the Reaper. Kristina has finally avenged her sister, but now she is faced with an impossible choice - return to her life of luxury or stay in Abonerra and help Marshal Aldefos overturn the Sorcerer laws that abolished her people from their homeland.

The World Is In Ruins. The Final Battle Has Begun. Death Is Inevitable…Despite escaping the massacre of Abonerra, Lincoln is finally learning he cannot escape his destiny. A destiny that may very well see his entire life slip between his fingers. El knows the only way to ensure victory is through sacrifice, yet that sacrifice will tear her apart from Lincoln and everything she holds dear, leaving her stuck with an impossible choice and no guarantees. Ben has worked so hard to retrieve Liv’s soul, but with the destruction to his home dimension and the human dimension, all that work has been undone, only held alive by the smallest sliver of hope that could change everything.
