Publisher's Synopsis
A shining city promises death. Tara must go there anyway. Having survived the dangerous journey through the sand lands, Tara must now choose between the impossible. She knows she isn't the person everyone wants her to be; wants nothing to do with the rebellion and strange powers that are as likely to kill her friends as her enemies. But the Prezedant has Ben, her only remaining kin. She made a promise to save him. A promise she can only keep if she tries anyway. When she finally reaches the seat of the Prezedant's power, a masquerade ball becomes the perfect stage to set in motion a plan to save Ben. It will begin and end there in a battle against the tyrant and a daring escape that will shake the world. It will shake Tara, too, as she learns truths that change everything she had believed about herself. Ascension is the second book in the New Bloods series and the thrilling sequel to Awaken. Fast-paced and with fleshed-out characters, this book by Michelle Bryan will keep you on the edge of your seat.
