ABOUT ASCENSION
From best selling and award winning author Stacey Rourke comes the heart-pounding continuation of the acclaimed Gryphon Series.
The turning point of the Gryphon saga is at hand …
Battle looms. Three unstoppable forces prepare to clash in a colossal explosion that could wipe Gainesboro off the map. Fate and sacred calling have landed nineteen year old Celeste Garrett in the middle with nowhere to run.
Her trust wavers as she uncovers dark secrets of the Council, powerful enough to test her loyalty and turn her against those she swore to protect. Playing to the longing of her heart, a malevolent enemy uses her weakness against her to form an alliance.
With the trumpets of war about to sound, which side will the Conduit choose, and who will be left standing?

Sacrifice is my favorite of the above covers. I just like the stark differences from one side of the cover to the other. Very eye catching.
ReplyDeleteSacrifice is my favourite! It shows dark and light I just love it!

For me its a tie between Sacrifice and Embrace the stark differences on them make them so attention grabbing .I love them.
ReplyDeleteFirst the Gryphon was taken away from me and I got over it and fell in love with the 2nd Ed. covers, but now this...I'm going to need a moment to clear my head. The art is amazing, but change is hard...Still, I can't wait for the next book.
