Power awakens through pain and not everyone survives becoming who they are meant to be.
Zach believed the world was protected.
He was wrong.
When Void forces tear through his life, Zach loses his parents, his safety, and everything he thought he understood about the Celestials who claimed to guard the realm. Forced onto the path of rhythm, he discovers the Vaeve, a fragile power shaped not by strength, but by emotion.
Trained by a fallen warrior and supported by the loyalty of a friend who refuses to leave him behind, Zach is drawn into a war where balance is breaking and truth is buried.
Watching him closely is Malvek. A calm and merciless force who does not want Zach dead. He wants him changed.
As the Celestial Order begins to fall and the line between hero and monster blurs, Zach must choose what kind of power he will become.
Waverin's Ascent is a dark fantasy novel about loss, identity, and the danger of becoming the very thing you fight.
