Elara Voss survived the impossible-at the cost of becoming something no longer entirely human. The gauntlet fused to her arm pulses with runes that remember her better than she remembers herself. Her left eye sees the world in violet fractures. Her pulse doesn't always belong to her.And something in the sky wants her back.Seeking refuge in the scavenger settlement of Echo Point, Elara tries to outrun what she is becoming. But when a pulse of living light descends from the heavens and forms her own shape-a perfect duplicate built from code and memory-Elara realizes the truth: Crowe didn't die.His work simply moved into the sky.To stop the "second binding" and prevent the Light Engine from reclaiming her, Elara must travel into Epsilon, a forgotten underground complex tied to her childhood and the secrets of the Voss Program. There she finds echoes of her past, ghosts of other children, and the origin of the thing growing inside her.But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes Ascension isn't a weapon.It's a question.And she is running out of answers.Runelight Ascension is a haunting, adrenaline-charged continuation of the saga-perfect for readers who love character-driven sci-fi, atmospheric worlds, and stories about the cost of being chosen.
