Dominance Without Deliverance: Book two of the Celestini Cycle
Last season, Ashlea Celestini fought to prove she belonged.
This season, the Colorado Peaks are asking her to carry them to a championship.
At twenty years old, Ash is everything people once doubted she could become.
An MVP favourite. The face of the Peaks. One of the most dangerous scorers in the league.
Denver loves her.
Her face is on billboards. Crowds chant her name. When the game gets tight, everyone knows what comes next:
Give Ash the ball.
And she keeps delivering.
Thirty points. Forty. Another impossible shot. Another game pulled back from the edge.
But the better Ash gets, the more the Peaks seem to depend on her.
Her teammates hesitate. Frustration grows. The locker room starts to crack. From the outside, Ash looks unstoppable. Inside the team, everything is beginning to fall apart.
And Ash can feel it happening.
Every bad possession feels like something she has to fix. Every mistake makes her want the ball even more. Every loss brings the same question:
If Ashlea Celestini is this good, why aren't the Peaks better?
Then there's Tyesha Walker.
The number-one pick. A superstar. Ash's biggest rival - and maybe the only player who truly understands what it feels like when the whole world is watching.
Ash spent years fighting for the chance to become unstoppable.
Now, with a championship within reach, she has to face a much harder question:
What if being the best player on the court is exactly what's stopping her team from becoming the best?
Because dominance can make you a superstar.
Deliverance takes everyone.
Dominance Without Deliverance is the second novel in the Celestini Cycle, a fast-paced YA sports drama about basketball, rivalry, ambition, pressure, friendship and what it really takes to win.
