Legacies Etched in Obsidian: Ascension is the opening volume of an epic fantasy saga where destiny is forged through sacrifice, ancient power awakens, and ascension comes at a devastating cost.

In a world shaped by forgotten gods and fractured realms, survival is not enough. To rise, one must confront blood-bound legacies, forbidden magic, and the truth of what it means to become more than human. As alliances fracture and old myths stir, the path to power reveals itself — but only to those willing to lose everything.

Dark, mythic, and relentless, Ascension is a story of transformation, ambition, and the thin line between savior and destroyer.

The journey has begun.
The ascension is inevitable.

BEFORE GODS RULED...

there were choices.
Before power was inherited, it was taken.
