Book II in the series follows Jericho's failure to subdue Imperial has led to Lucien Arcane becoming an Earthly deity. Far from ending his bid to ascend, Lucien initiates his two-phase plan to eliminate Michael and his Archs as well their only mortal hope, Jericho Bane from existence. Under orders, the De-Mon Painell will embark on an emissary mission to the outer most reaches of the Sadohedranicverse to learn if the ancient legend of the mythical Monarchs are real and if they can be weaponized all while Imperial's plan of eradicating Earth's peace coalesces into the beginning pangs of war.

Michael and his sister Gabriel must now divide; one will pursue Painell to whatever end, the other, help a defeated Jericho rise from obscurity to assassinate the global threat, Imperial. De Mon and Arch forces will once again clash for the fate of the only throne that has ever mattered in this first of a two-part epic tale. ASCENSION!
