As a half Vampire, half Lychen and the last of her kind, Kynana is feared by many and that's the way she likes it. Having hated mankind for all the sins they've committed against her, Kynana can't believe it when she's chosen to come to their rescue. The gates to Tartarus have been opened and Dark Breeds have been freed to roam the earth and wreck havoc.

Kynana has been chosen for her uncanny ability to track and she needs to find not only the key to lock the gate but also the person responsible for opening the gate in the first place. As if working to save the humans wasn't bad enough, Kynana has been instructed to work with Ryker, a demigod who is the son of Ares. He's also the man who rejected Kynana ten years ago, something she has yet to get over. As their reluctant alliance takes off, their search for answers leads them to a dangerous ancient cult and a vengeful god. With so much at stake, Kynana and Ryker are going to have to work out their problems and rely on each other, or they may be amongst the first casualties in a war that will become unstoppable.

ASCENSION is the debut novel from Sable Grace, which is a pseudonym for writing team Heather Waters and Laura Barone, which I would never have been able to tell from the writing. The whole story is so seamless that I would have never known it was written by two different people if I hadn't read the acknowledgments at the beginning of the book. As far as debut books go, ASCENSION is a clear winner. I found the story to be engaging and interesting. I kept wanting to know what happens next. I very much enjoyed the characters in the book and loved that they were flawed and human. The ending of the book will leave you on edge, clamoring to find out what happens next. Sable Grace make an awesome writing duo and I can't wait to see what they give us in the future.

SUMMARY

The gates of hell have opened, and one woman will stand in the crossfire as the Dark Breed -- vampyre, demons, shape shifters -- and mankind fight their last battle for survival.

Kyana is half Vampyre, half Lychen...and the last of her kind. Determined, dangerous, and damned, she has no love for the mortals who have imprisoned and misused her. But when the Order of Ancients entrusts her with a mission -- to find the key that will send the Dark Breed back into Hell for eternity -- Kyana has no choice but to accept.

She is furious to learn her assignment comes with an escort. . . Ryker, a demigod and fierce warriour who long ago found a way under her skin and stayed there. In a shaky alliance, they discover an ancient cult with dangerous motives and a god who seeks to destroy all others. And as Kyana begins to feel the heat that threatens to bind her to Ryker, she knows she has to resist. For it could only mean the undoing of them both. . .
