Ascension, releasing November 2013

From best selling and award winning author Stacey Rourke comes the heart-pounding continuation of the acclaimed Gryphon Series.

The turning point of the Gryphon saga is at hand …

Battle looms. Three unstoppable forces prepare to clash in a colossal explosion that could wipe Gainesboro off the map. Fate and sacred calling have landed nineteen year old Celeste Garrett in the middle with nowhere to run.

Her trust wavers as she uncovers dark secrets of the Council, powerful enough to test her loyalty and turn her against those she swore to protect. Playing to the longing of her heart, a malevolent enemy uses her weakness against her to form an alliance.
With the trumpets of war about to sound, which side will the Conduit choose, and who will be left standing? 


Oh, but that's not all kids!! As I mentioned inside each book will be original illustrations. Because I love you all, here's a sneak peek;


Illustrator Crystal Ord will be bringing some of your favorite Gryphon Series characters to life!

  7. I love the duality of Sacrifice. That there is a bit of good and evil inside of each of us. They are simply beautiful. Very difficult to pick just one.
