Ascendant: Struggle

Zai, a soldier, and her squad live a life of brutal hit-and-run operations and training the people of Aviye to resist the will of the Hegemons that divided her nation. When a beautiful defector falls into her lap, the terrible secret of how the Hegemony creates its Ascendants, powerful warriors wielding powers only a few understand, is revealed, as well as a lost path to the same power. As Zai and Amri struggle to understand the truth of the path, deadly enemies and even divisions within their own people must be overcome. Yet in the shadows of the Hegemony lurks an enemy far older and more powerful than even they can imagine. -------- I invite you to consider my other works if you are interested: https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-demon-lord-is-an-angel_28486713700592205#review I also have a Discord if you want to communicate with me directly: https://discord.gg/ksJ8dJup4d Special thanks to SapphoAndHerFriend for her support and help with the cover.

Escaping the Web

West Warehouse District, Escator, Democratic Union of Aviye

Quynh

Suspended above the concrete floor of the warehouse, Quynh shuddered.

Her wrists and ankles had been bound with ropes, and she was suspended between two lifting hooks that were attached to a pair of crane mechanisms built into the third-story platform. The hooks themselves had to be let out in order to make her the lynchpin of the arrangement, and her captor had made sure to clear the warehouse of the massive stockpile of arms.

Now, the man who called himself Hume leaned against the control panel for one of the cranes, idly dancing his fingers along the lever that would send the crane at Quynh's feet pulling away.
