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.

The Puzzle

People's Ascendance Center, Xalam Province, Democratic Union of Aviye

Amri

They called it The Center, and Amri was not sure how she felt about that name.

There was a ranch, just like before, but that was separate from the complex and now served only as a security station for the Center's only road. That nameless road led to a tall, skinny mountain at the edge of the Maobi, or Writing Brush, Range. It was much thicker than many of its peers, and that thickness was used to hide the bunker-like tower that had been carved into it.

Amri was surprised to hear this place had existed for centuries, as a forgotten hideout for royals before Mea's Revolution.
