The Trials Of Ascension

Salvation does not come without sacrifice. Rise. Otylia will never forget the betrayer’s blade slicing across her throat. Nor will she forgive. Trapped by Weles in the underworld of Nawia, she is further from Wacław and Dziewanna than ever. The Trials of Ascension are Otylia’s only hope to escape her father’s grasp, but is she ready to pay the price of immortality? Fall. Wacław would do anything to get Otylia back. But no demon has ever entered Nawia’s paradise. Marching west with the nomadic clans, Wacław senses the darkness inside him growing with his power. As Marzanna threatens his hopes of saving both Otylia and his tribe, will he surrender to the demon’s call or resist as the world he knows burns before him? Immerse yourself in Slavic mythological realms both new and old as The Frostmarked Chronicles continue in the dramatic sequel to A Dagger in the Winds.

A warrior shrouded in darkness. A witch sworn to revenge. A winter unbounded. Wacław is an outcast. Born with a curse he doesn’t understand, he’s hidden his power his entire life. But when the goddess of winter unleashes the darkness within him, his only hope for answers is the girl he’s forbidden to see. Otylia is a witch. There’s no one she hates more than the winter goddess—except her once best friend Wacław. But when she receives visions of endless blizzards and Wacław fighting by her side, she realizes he’s the key to uncovering the goddess’s plot. Facing monsters and magic at every turn, the pair must journey with friends and rivals alike to confront the cult of winter, but Wacław’s awakened darkness grows as death consumes the living realm. To contain it, they’ll have to mend their broken relationship and delve into the mysteries of their past. Mysteries that could destroy the winter goddess . . . or themselves.

The author of this book started writing the stories in it when he was starting to recover from mental illness. At first, the stories were only written in his head to help ease the confusion of reality within himself. That was decades ago, and over the many years since then, he has written them down on paper.

"By my sword, I will bring peace. With my power, I will defend. As long as my heart beats, I will fight to the very end."
