He was born in the shadows.
Raised without a history.
Hunted without knowing why.
When a brutal assassination attempt shatters the fragile anonymity of Kaelen Drayke’s life, a hidden monarchy emerges from the darkness to reveal the truth: he is the last living heir to the ancient Aurellian throne-stolen a generation ago by a clandestine banking cabal known as the Vermilion Syndicate.
Now, the world stands on the brink.
As the Syndicate moves to erase him, the Kingdom of Aurelia races to restore its rightful sovereign. But Kaelen’s ascension threatens far more than a conspiracy-it threatens the global balance of power. The State of Aram, a ruthless intelligence superpower, prepares for war, convinced that Kaelen’s rise will forge a new empire capable of eclipsing every nation on earth.
Propelled into a vortex of espionage, betrayal, and geopolitical warfare, Kaelen must confront the legacy he never knew and the enemies he can no longer avoid. To survive, he must transform-from a man who fled destiny into a ruler powerful enough to claim it.
Because the world will not let him live.
The throne will not let him fall.
And history will not let him hide.
ASCENSION is a masterwork of intrigue and revelation-the explosive beginning of a trilogy where bloodlines carry empires, secrets topple nations, and one man’s rise will redraw the world.
