As political unrest mounts and hidden loyalties shift, Alaric and Kai must navigate a world where power, trust, and passion all carry steep costs. Amid the looming threat of People's Dawn and the judgment of the nobility, can they forge a path through duty and desire-or will the kingdom demand more than they're willing to give?
Perfect for readers of slow-burn romance and sci-fi intrigue, Ascendant is a tale of power, devotion, and the hidden costs of sovereignty
