On the verge of ascension, Barr struggled as well, to make sense of his past lives and understand his true purpose. Fluora by his side, coping with her own new powers as Matron, things began to take a turn for the worse. The children gods, made mortal, were being hunted one by one.

For centuries, dragons fought to rule all. Driven by rage, corrupted by darkness, they were a scourge of fire and fury that would not abate. Only humans stood in their way, a brave few in each generation born with magic. Wardens, as they were called, used their power to shield others and fight back the dragon menace. But the dragons were cunning and used guile to destroy their enemy from within. When the Wardens fell, the world fell with them. Without their protectors, humanity was hunted to the ends of Eralle and eventually to extinction. Cities burned beneath the onslaught, with every forest in between. Trees wilted into ash and did not grow back. Food became scarce, life even scarcer. Older dragons chose to hibernate, while the rest were forced to scavenge or turn on one another. All had seemed lost, until a young dragon came upon a human egg, one fashioned of Warden magic. Inside the wooden shell was a promise of renewal, a helpless infant boy that could coax trees to grow by touch. He carried within him not only a chance at redemption for all dragons but the gift of hope that would become... ...the Warden's legacy. From the Book "Stone pressed in the tips of four talons and another from his left hand, a difficult task for one his size. When nothing seemed to happen, no matter how hard he pushed, he tried moving his claw to a more comfortable position. A circular section of shell began to turn. He continued the motion and sensed within the shell a movement of its delicate parts. The prickled circles moved within a groove, and the slender lengths slid one along the other. He felt and heard a click just as a seam appeared lengthwise across the center of the egg. Air escaped in a faint rush, like the exhalation of an anxious breath. It held the bitter greens and biting whites of blossomed life and blooming bough, the caress of sweet blues in summer wind and dulcet yellows in rays of sun. Its touch was so clean, so pure within his lungs, that he coughed in the face of it and longed for more when it was gone. The egg's magic had fled." About J.A. Giunta "I became a writer because of Dungeons & Dragons. At eleven, when my family moved from New York to Arizona, I traded my entire baseball card collection (which included cards from the '50s) for the basic D&D box set. A huge monetary loss at the time, though I couldn't have known that at my age, but in the long run completely justified."- J.A. Giunta

With a twist of storytelling we share the life of the dragon Stone as he discovers something that will change the fate of the world. For centuries, dragons fought to rule all.

Author J.A. Giunta's epic story of The Ascension continues from The Last Incarnation in book two, The Mists of Faeron. Betrayed for a sentient sword called Aislin, his friends dead or dying, Barr woke in the waters and starry dark of a strange realm. A place where living shadows moved about, a plane between planes, it was a world of swirling mist that allowed for travel by thought alone. Its benefits were not without cost. There was a balance to maintain, a price in furie to be paid by the Matron of the Mists - Barr's mother. Without Aislin, her strength waned. Each use of the mists opened a portal to the Dark, a brief moment when umbrals could pass through. More than the Matron's life, all of Faeronthalsos, every life on every world, was in danger of being consumed. Rather than face losing the mother he had only just met, Barr was determined to find and return the sword. Meanwhile, Markus and his revenants did the bidding of a mad god. Little stood in their way but Barr, his friends and... The Mists of Faeron.

Masterful worldbuilding, epic plots and engaging characters you can connect with define the craft of author J.A. Giunta in the first book of The Ascension, a classic fantasy trilogy. In this series, Giunta takes us on an journey of honor, revenge, and enlightenment, beginning with The Last Incarnation. The son of a trapper, raised by elves, befriended by animals, entrusted with magic, Barr was but a boy on a journey that had taken many, many lifetimes. Seeking to avenge his father’s death, he would cross into Lumintor, home to shapelings of all manner and size. Little did he know, Revyn, the God of Change, had plans of his own, plans set in motion long before Barr was ever born. It was what Revyn had been waiting for, the time when one of the new races bore a child on its final lesson, a soul on the verge of enlightenment. It was what Markus had awaited as well, enduring centuries of enchanted slumber so that he might one day rule all of Taellus—in Revyn’s name. The Emblems would no longer be hidden, and his revenants would stop at nothing to find them. It had finally come, the journey’s end . . . The Last Incarnation.
