Ascends
Fearing
an
uprising,
the
Sphinx
sends
Senlin
to
investigate
a
plot
that
has
taken
hold
in
the
ringdom
of
Pelphia.
Alone
in
the
city,
Senlin
infiltrates
a
bloody
arena
where
hods
battle
for
the
public's
entertainment.
But
his
investigation
is
quickly
derailed
by
a
gruesome
crime
and
an
unexpected
reunion.
Posing
as
a
noble
lady
and
her
handmaid,
Voleta
and
Iren
attempt
to
reach
Marya,
who
is
isolated
by
her
fame.
While
navigating
the
court,
Voleta
attracts
the
unwanted
attention
of
a
powerful
prince
whose
pursuit
of
her
threatens
their
plan.
Edith,
now
captain
of
the
Sphinx's
fierce
flagship,
joins
forces
with
a
fellow
wakeman
to
investigate
the
disappearance
of
a
beloved
friend.
She
must
decide
who
to
trust
as
her
desperate
search
brings
her
nearer
to
the
Black
Trail
where
the
hods
climb
in
darkness
and
whisper
of
the
Hod
King.
As
Senlin
and
his
crew
become
further
dragged
in
to
the
conspiracies
of
the
Tower,
everything
falls
to
one
question:
Who
is
The
Hod
King?

Notă biografică
Josiah
Bancroft
started
writing
novels
when
he
was
twelve,
and
by
the
time
he
finished
his
first,
he
was
an
addict.
Eventually,
the
writing
of
Senlin
Ascends
began,
a
fantasy
adventure,
not
so
unlike
the
stories
that
got
him
addicted
to
words
in
the
first
place.
He
wanted
to
do
for
others
what
his
favorite
writers
had
done
for
him:
namely,
to
pick
them
up
and
to
carry
them
to
a
wonderful
and
perilous
world
that
is
spinning
very
fast.
If
he's
done
that
with
this
book,
then
he's
happy.
Josiah
lives
in
Philadelphia
with
his
wife,
Sharon,
their
daughter
Maddie,
and
their
two
rabbits,
Mabel
and
Chaplin.
