Ascension Saga: 6

This book concludes the second segment of this series which focuses on Princess Faith and Thor’s story (Vol 2: Books 4-6). It then moves to the final segment covering Destiny and Nix’s story (Vol 3: Books 7-9). Queen Celene was transported to an Aleran Dungeon in Mytikas. Though she couldn’t see outside, she recognized the smell of the unique flowers. A cleric she didn’t know came in to offer her news of Faith. She could not trust him, but still wanted to hear what he had to say. Lord and Lady Jax were dead of poison, and the cleric told her Faith was to blame since she seduced Thordis Jax and had him bring her into their home. Celene’s cousin, Lord Wyse, now leader of the Optimus unit, stepped into the room. He had identified the names of her three daughters, and with the ominous words that Celene herself was no longer his problem, he left the room. Thor was at the Jax Mountain Lodge questioning Lord Wyse’s grandson, Pawl. It was Lord Wyse who had poisoned Thor’s parents, as she told him with her dying breath. Now Thor would protect his mate, Faith, no matter what he had to do – evil kill Pawl if he had to. He knew it was a matter of time before his mother’s treachery became known and his family name would be ruined. He had left Faith behind with the bodies of his dead parents in the Jax mansion; he knew Trinity’s royal power would protect her while he did what he had to do. Turning again to Pawl and demonstrating how deadly sharp his knife was, Pawl finally realized he was in serious danger and told Thor that, although he himself didn’t know where the Queen was taken, Lord Wyse’s personal guard, Marish, did know. He described the scar on Marish’s face, and said that they went together to Earth. Then Pawl went home while Marish took the Queen elsewhere. The sole reason for needing the Queen was that Lord Wyse needed the royal gemstones so that he could be king. Thor then had Pawl tell him everything he knew, as far back at the king’s murder 27 years before, while it was all being recorded for Trinity; then he sent it to Leo’s father, the head of the royal guard. Pawl would remained locked to the chair until the guards figured where he was and dragged him back to the palace. As Faith and Trinity talked about what happened at the Jax mansion, Faith told her she would not give Thor up. Trinity backed her up totally – she had seen the love Thor had for her sister. Faith decides to introduce herself to the people and make some very shocking announcements. What will happen now? And when they learn that the clerics are in on this whole plot and they remember where Destiny is hiding, what will the sisters do? This saga is so exciting! Now the author is taking us into Destiny and Nix’s story! Nix, a powerful and fierce warrior is ready to protect Destiny when he discovers a shocking fact – Destiny is his mate, definitely tough enough to deal with him perfectly!

A great conclusion to Faith's main portion of the saga. After the devastating cliffhanger from part 5, Faith puts on her big girl panties (or at least the Aleran version of panties) and does what she needs to do to get Thor back and continue the search for her mom. The bodies are piling up as the plot to overthrow the the rightful rulers of Alera continues. Thankfully, Trinity's gift allows them to know whom to trust. The Aleran Ardor ensures that there is plenty of close physical interactions between our H and h, but I must confess that I skim through those sections to get back to the story quicker. I am still loving the fact that these over-protective Aleran males are all virgins until they find there One and then they make like Energizer bunnies. The characters created for this saga are fantastic and fully developed and I cannot wait until Destiny gets to meet Nix - we not going to see sparks, it's going to be lightning bolts between those two. Grab this saga and its prequel and enjoy but fair warning - it is a nine part saga, where every three parts are grouped (Trinity 1-3, Faith 5-6, and Destiny 7-9) and cliffhangers abound.

Let's start off by saying that this is one of my favorite paranormal/sci-fi author's and we love everything this author writes.What an imagination this author has and always creates sexy and hot and steamy books for us to read .We are loving these off the planet romance reads!One of the things we are loving about this current series is that we are really loving its character's. This story is an ongoing one but, Faith and Thor's story continued in this one.The Queen still missing but, the Princesses Trinity,Faith,Destiny have taken things in their own hands and upped their game in trying to find their mother. We loved this current story it was fun,witty super hot and funny as he**.Omg ! these men in this story are sexy as Sin. Thor got a taste off just what his mate Faith was capable of and throughout the entire scene I could not stop laughing. For a short read it was packed with tons of hotness,laughs,drama,mystery and we loved it from cover to cover! 5 stars Personal note:My only complaint is that I dislike reading a series this way.I dislike that it takes 3 books to tell one princesses story and this is one of the things that turns me away from authors like these. I have no problem with a main plot story that continues through out the current series you are writing a lot of writers do that but, I dislike reading a story that just ends almost like a cliffhanger. I love this author's works I just wish she had written Trinity,Faith,Destiny books as a whole not in pieces for each princess.
