The Ascendants

Billowbirds are flying, and that can only mean one thing. An Ascendant lives. Before the Lady Keres usurped the throne, the realm teemed with magic; enchanters, elementals, dream walkers, healers... But they were all gone now. Or so it seemed. Since her birth, Lyn's path had been set in stone; she would inherit her father's title and responsibilities and become the Baroness Tovaar. But it was what she inherited from her mother that would change her life forever. Orphaned brother and sister, Sander and Mari, led simple lives tending the vineyard for their viceroy. Each day was much the same as the next, as long as Sander's peculiar talent remained undiscovered.Young Nessa had always known she was special. Gifted. But it was that very gift that compelled her parents to seclude her in a corner of the realm where, by the Mother's Grace, the stalkers would never find her.None of them knew their true lineage. None were aware of their bond. And, until mysterious strangers came into their lives, none of them knew that the fate of the realm rested upon their shoulders and that it was their destiny to restore the lost magic of Lithandys.
