Ascendants - Awakening

Dot was just another operative working for the Order.

Steal the artifact. Deliver it. Get paid.

Simple.

Until the artifact became part of her.

Now marked by something she doesn't understand, Dot finds herself hunted by the very people who once hired her. With a Contract placed on her head and nowhere left to run, her only chance of survival lies with Vault-one of the oldest and most dangerous groups within the Order.

But safety comes at a price.

As strange powers begin to surface and buried secrets emerge, Dot is forced to confront a truth far bigger than the artifact itself: the world she thought she understood may have been built on lies.

And whatever she is becoming, others have been searching for it for a very long time.

ASCENDANTS: AWAKENING is a sci-fi dark fantasy novel featuring mystery, psychological tension, dangerous secrets, morally gray characters, and a slow-burn romance woven through a world where power, identity, and survival are never simple.
