The Ascension Seed: A Sequel to The Crucifixion Cult

By Scott E Perkins

The Ascension Seed
A Sequel to The Crucifixion Cult

Some roots never die. Some flames never burn out.

Naomi Vale thought she ended the Thorned Path when she destroyed the Seed. But in the ashes of the cult rises something far more ancient and insidious-a fire that listens, a Root that blooms, and a Groom that demands a Bride.
Haunted by visions of her lost brother Eli, Naomi is drawn into the mountains where whispers echo through ash and children breathe smoke instead of air. The deeper she follows the Path, the clearer its purpose becomes: suffering was never the end-it was only the doorway.

Across the valley, Justine embraces that truth with fevered devotion. The Shard in her chest has fused her to the Root, twisting her flesh and crowning her as Mother Thorn. She will not stop until Naomi kneels beside her in worship-or in ruin.
As the valley writhes and the Root strains to birth something monstrous, Naomi must decide if her scar is a curse binding her to the cult's resurrection, or the one weapon that can shatter it forever.

The Ascension Seed is a relentless descent into psychological horror, faith turned fanaticism, and the breaking point between family and fanatic devotion. Fans of dark thrillers and religious horror will find themselves unable to look away as Naomi's final choice approaches: resist, or bloom.
