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.

Xu

Corralling Zai's officers was an inefficient process.

Though physically, Xu was fine, under her emotionless mask she worried for what was to come. The changes to the court-martial proceedings had blindsided her. Yet, since Yun and Suleika were working together, she assumed that some strings had been pulled to keep things within the reach of those who actually knew and trusted her former commander.

By far, the biggest challenge was Rui. Xu could tell that she'd matured quite a lot, but under that - admittedly thin - layer of professionalism was a woman tensed and ready to lash out. Rui paced in the waiting area. She tapped her foot, fussed with her uniform, and muttered to herself. All things Xu found annoying when the person doing them insisted on being within arm's reach of her.
