Ascension — C.M. Johnson

Finally, their time of Ascension is nearing, but it has already been a busy year for Kerrisha and Kerreth and there is no sign that things will get any easier as the time approaches. Roderick was ended as the Power directed and the Reconciliation with Devon Clan has begun but, while Kerrisha was left with a worrying prophecy about her visions, Kerreth is worried about her lack of reaction to their imprisonment at what is now being called Devon Fortress. All that is set aside, however, as we join them on the morning of their wedding and coronation anniversaries. The week-long celebration of the start of the Second Year of the Era of the Fifth Guardian leads to an unexpected development in Kerrisha's relationship with Security, one that may place her in even more danger. Kerreth invited Richard and Damien to the opening of the Devon Archives in the Below City without speaking to King Cristone or Queen Cristaria - How will his parents respond to such an unexpected visitor to the hidden capital of the lost island? The investigation in the compromising of Drew Complex culminates with a visit to the re-taken complex to deliver the findings on the anniversary of the battle.

What surprise does the Power hold in store for them? How do they react to their new abilities afterward? What secret have Kerreth and Kerrisha been hiding from Edwere and Jonathan?
