The Aesymarean Duet - 1: The Ascended

Więcej o książce

In a world where divine power seeps into the mortal realm, Thais Morvaren, a fisherman's daughter, secretly wields the ability to forge weapons from starlight. This hidden talent would compel her to enter the perilous Trials of Ascension. However, when a priest's ritual reveals her divine lineage, she is forcibly conscripted into the trials. Trapped in a competition she never desired, Thais channels her fear into a singular purpose: to kill Olinthar, the King of the Gods, whose divine touch led to her mother's death. To achieve this, she must ascend to godhood, even at great personal cost. Complicating matters, she is bound to a mentor, Xül, a necromancer prince with a dark past and a sharp wit. Their initial encounters are fraught with tension, as both are headstrong and unwilling to yield to one another or the undeniable chemistry between them. As she navigates the trials, each challenge brings her closer to her goal, but an ancient malevolence lurks in the shadows of the divine realm, threatening to disrupt everything. Forced into the Trials for survival, Thais ultimately seeks vengeance, and the price of achieving godhood continues to rise. Some stars are not meant to be weapons; some are destined to fall.
