This is the second book in the Ascendance Trilogy.
Just weeks after Jaron has taken the throne, an assassination attempt forces him into a deadly situation. Rumors of a coming war are winding their way between the castle walls, and Jaron feels the pressure quietly mounting within Carthya. Soon, it becomes clear that deserting the kingdom may be his only hope of saving it. But the further Jaron is forced to run from his identity, the more he wonders if it is possible to go too far. Will he ever be able to return home again? Or will he have to sacrifice his own life in order to save his kingdom?
This was a good follow-up to the first book. At times it was a little slow, not a lot of action, but I still enjoyed it. Jaron was a character that I did not like in the first book and that I have come to like in this one. There are a lot of similar books that I enjoyed much more, such as one of my all-time favorites- The Ranger's Apprentice, but there are other books that are far worse. Worth reading.
