Ascension

by Selena I.R. Drake

The battered, old book in her pack is the key, but Xyleena cannot remember why. In fact, all she can remember is waking up in the healer’s wing of the Temple. As she struggles to make sense of it all and the dreams that haunt her, Dimitri, a man who knows exactly what he wants and is willing to do anything to get it, begins his quest for revenge. Disguised, Dimitri, together with his small band of cohorts, sneak into the Temple in search of the key that will unlock the greatest secret on all of Ithnez; the key which lies with Xyleena.

A battle over the book in her possession forces Xyleena onto a quest for answers and her own retribution. Determined to stay one step ahead of Dimitri, she finds herself teaming up with the unlikeliest of allies in the hopes of finding the long lost Dragons of Light. Only with these fabled creatures will Xyleena and her friends be able to save their world from the clutches of Dimitri’s evil plans.

She was home schooled for a few years before first grade, which is when she first took to writing. When she finally entered the school system, she often got in trouble for writing too much. It wasn’t until eighth grade when a book report sparked her imagination, and her passion for writing really took off.

She currently lives in Minot with her dog, Pipsqueak, where she continues to work on more books.
