Ascension
An empire dies in fire.
At the brink of total annihilation, the ancient Archides make an unthinkable choice-obliterate their own civilization to stop a monster they created. As entire star systems vanish, a single vessel escapes into the void, carrying the last fragile thread of humanity.
But evil is not so easily erased.
Thousands of years later, beneath the iron grip of a ruthless empire, twelve-year-old Oryan lives as a slave in a forgotten Quarter. Trained in secret by his father-a fallen general haunted by the past-Oryan possesses extraordinary instincts, unnatural skill, and a fury he barely understands. When violence erupts, that power awakens, drawing the attention of men who see him not as a boy... but as a weapon.
Torn from everything he knows and thrust into a brutal underground world where survival is earned in blood, Oryan begins to uncover whispers of something greater-of destiny, of forgotten history, of a legacy that refuses to stay buried.
And in his dreams, there is always Celeste.
A mysterious girl he has never met-yet knows with unshakable certainty. She is light in his darkness, calm in his storm, and a connection that feels older than memory itself. As Oryan's world expands beyond slavery and into the vast machinery of power and rebellion, the truth about Celeste may prove just as dangerous as the truth about him.
Because some bonds transcend time.
Some power cannot be contained.
And some legends are born from the ashes of extinction.
Spanning shattered galaxies, secret bloodlines, and the awakening of a force capable of reshaping the stars, Ascension launches an epic sci-fi saga of identity, sacrifice, and the first step toward becoming something more than human.
The end of one empire was only the beginning.
