\"\"<\/a>Greetings!<\/p>\n

I’m thrilled to announce the release of Ascendant Unrest – the second book in the Faded Skies series. Out now on #kindle. (I\u00a0think<\/em> the publisher is releasing it wide across several outlets but I’m not 100% sure). Though this series has a nine-year-old main character, it’s not intended for young readers.<\/p>\n

The series is linear, so be sure to read Heir Ascendant<\/a> first!<\/p>\n

\n

Two weeks after Maya tried to save the world, little has changed. Little, except for a nine-year-old\u2019s building fear that her ex-mother\u2019s revenge waits around every corner.<\/p>\n

When her face appeared on every still-working video monitor along the Eastern Seaboard, streaming her plea and her evidence all over the planet, she thought they\u2019d won. Alas, her fairy tale dream died. The Authority didn\u2019t become noble overnight. Her ex-mother didn\u2019t face punishment for her crimes. The lack of any retribution, or even any effort on the part of the Brigade to hide her, only fans the flames of her worry.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, her best friend Sarah is hiding a painful secret.<\/p>\n

Maya\u2019s fears come to fruition in the middle of the night. In a hail of gunfire, she and Sarah flee into the dangerous streets of the Habitation District, rife with dosers, street gangs, corrupt Authority officers, chased by an unknown enemy worse than Ascendant.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t want to kidnap her\u2015they want her dead.<\/p>\n
