Ascension

Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Sarah J Maas, and Jim Butcher, the first book in The

Wardens of the Rift series delivers epic battles, slow-burn romance, and a gritty,

supernatural world on the brink of collapse.

As a child, they tell you monsters aren't real.

That you shouldn't be afraid of the dark.

As a teenager, Marek Tomlinson learned it was all bullshit-Monsters are real. And they

love the dark.

Now a New York City detective, Marek is chasing a string of brutal murders the FBI's shadowy

Special Crimes Unit says aren't human. They're right. And the deeper he digs, the more

something inside him begins to stir-something powerful, primal, and not entirely human.

Enter Agent Kaycee Gordon-Fierce, brilliant, and beautiful. Assigned to lead the

investigation, she's hiding secrets of her own. She's used to danger. She's even used to

monsters. But she's not used to a subordinate with a haunted past, unstable powers, and a

touch that makes her forget her own rules.

And Marek? He knows better. She's his commanding officer. Off-limits. But the way she

moves, the way she looks at him, it's not professional and it's getting harder to ignore.

As the Rift between worlds begins to collapse, monsters start slipping through, and Marek's

destiny threatens to consume him, Kaycee may be the only one who can pull him back

from the edge.

He never wanted a destiny.

She never planned to fall for him.

But fate doesn't care what they want.
