The Ascendants Chronicle #2
Red Star Phase: Book Two of the Ascendants Chronicle
Power never came without a price.
Separated from his allies and plagued by strange visions, the Verdant Knight ventures deeper into the unexplored world of the predators that once drove mankind to the brink of extinction.
The General pushes onward toward the capitol city of the cult that took his wife’s family, a wounded stranger in an inhospitable land.
The Villain returns home in search of the daughter he thought dead.
None yet know that they have been chosen, but the spiral of fate draws them ever closer to their inevitable encounter. An enemy far more terrible than mankind has ever faced has begun to emerge and only an ancient power can save humanity, if it isn’t already too late.

About the author
Scott Beckman
7 books12 followersLet's face it; our world is boring. There's no magic. No dragons. No quick-witted rogues or evil witches. There's just people and politics and work and school.
Scott likes to imagine far more interesting worlds. Ones with gods who give their followers super powers or dragons build mountain cities; where adventure is always just over the hill and through the dale; and where young heroes explore and discover the fantastic nature of their worlds for themselves. These are worlds that only exist in imagination, but maybe they could be real, if only we could find them.
Scott lives in Denver, Colorado with his cat, Evie. He enjoys a daily cup of coffee, a weekly exercise regimen, a regular bottle of gin or whiskey, and the occasional trip to far-off places. His biggest influences are Tolkien, Palahniuk, Vonnegut, LeGuin, and McCarthy. He believes there's nothing more awkward in the world than having people look at you while they sing to you, though writing about yourself in the third-person comes close.
