Ascension

By Chad R. Odom

In a galaxy on the brink of war, two lives collide-one born in chains, the other scarred by loss-and together they will change everything.

Oryan Jeckstadt has spent his life behind barbed wire in the Slave Quarter, where survival means strength and freedom is a distant dream. When his unmatched skill in combat sports thrusts him into the brutal world of Centauri, a gladiatorial phenomenon watched by billions, Oryan becomes a global icon overnight. Fame promises him power-and the chance to rescue the father he lost-but every victory binds him tighter to a web of lies, politics, and betrayal.

Across the Empire, Elesya Celeste fights her own battles. Orphaned and angry, she steps into the Centauri circuit to reclaim control of her life. Her meteoric rise makes her a star, but her defiance comes at a cost-and soon, her path crosses with Oryan's in ways neither could have imagined. As war looms between Navarus and Vollmar, both will be forced to choose between ambition and loyalty, survival and sacrifice.

Ascension is a high-octane blend of epic sci-fi, political intrigue, and heart-pounding romance, where the fate of empires rests on the courage of two champions-and the secrets they keep.

Perfect for fans of Dune, Red Rising, and The Hunger Games.
