His rage could destroy him and his people...or set them free Michael Cairne must face his greatest enemy yet. After being captured and imprisoned in a labor camp ruled by a murderous overseer, Michael must gain the trust of the other prisoners--former soldiers who may hold the key to his acceptance into the New Dallas Republic. Only with the help of this struggling city will he and his rebel allies turn the tide of a devastating war. Ex-military general and rebel leader Louis Blake aims to help Michael in his mission. But the teen's growing love for a beautiful "empath" named Arielle--and his hatred of her obsessive, deceitful sister Charlotte--makes him unstable and unpredictable. When Blake learns of Michael's imprisonment, he risks everything to cross a dangerous wasteland and rescue the troubled teen. Little do they know, an elite telepathic assassin stalks Michael, intent on putting an end to his cause once and for all. He knows secrets about Michael's past--about the boy's birth in a military lab that killed dozens of infants to create the ultimate soldier, and how to exploit Michael's greatest weakness... ... His tendency to transform love and hate into weapons that can shatter the world. Praise for Ascendant (from Goodreads and Amazon.com) "What a great freakin' ride!"
