Ascension was Just the Beginning…
In the aftermath, the kingdoms of the Norfolk, and the Dornan empire to the south, must find a new balance with the power the Ascension unleashed. New, wild talent is appearing all across the world, uncontrolled and unpredictable. The Council Of Regulators strives to protect the Norfolk by harnessing the talented and teaching them to use their abilities for the common good. Meanwhile, in the south, the armies of Dorna Major rally under a new Council of Seven to bring holy war on the heretics in the north, courting the power reserved for the Gods.
Between them, in the broken, floating island called Skan Merdol, a secret waits. A brooding threat, the focus of dozens of prophecies, that demand an answer to the question all fear to ask.
What waits in the chrysalis? What power caused the Ascension? And, what lies in store for the future on world of Maredran?
