Ascension — Michelle Bryan

Tara is coming into her power. It's becoming stronger. More commanding. More terrifying. She wants nothing to do with it. She doesn't want to be a New Blood. She doesn't want to be a hero. She wants no part in the rebellion against the Prezedant. But he has left her no choice. The Prezedant has taken her last remaining kin hostage and is requesting an exchange. Her life for Ben's. It will begin and end at the Prezedant's Masquerade Ball in a battle against the tyrant and a daring escape that will literally shake the world. The quest that began in Awaken: New Bloods 1 continues.
