Ascendancy (The Godswar Saga) (Volume 1)

A thousand years ago, a dying race of Immortals left behind an enduring legacy: the Ascendants, mortal men and women capable of binding hundreds or even thousands of others to their will. Together these “Bound” and their magic form the foundation of nearly every society in the world. But everything is about to change. A few rare mortals possess the ability to channel magic without an Ascendant bond, and these “Unbound” renegades finally have a leader: a gifted young sorceress bent on freeing those who share her power…no matter the cost. ASCENDANCY is first book in the Godswar series, a dark fantasy epic of magic, politics, and war where the heroes come face-to-face with history’s oldest foe: the truth.
