Ascension James Todd Lewis

Vanarra de Gonari is becoming. She is reaching the end of a journey started nearly two thousand seasons ago as a homeless orphaned outcast. Gifted now with long life and extraordinary abilities, she looks towards a moment where all she is will join with those closest to her soul. In the future, she will close her eyes as Vanarra and awaken anew as a powerful ascended being - Vanassa. But the journey is not yet complete, and missing answers remain in her own life as they do for her planet of Thuria. What will those who feared the cults do with its former members? Will family houses finally be able to not only reclaim their honor and heritage but find new hope and new direction? Is the lonely, shy mixed blood without memories the answer to her own past, present, and future? As government conspiracies and the machinations of secret societies attempt to answer Thuria's questions with dark and desperate answers, Vanarra must act. Carefully navigating the crossroads of destiny, the once homeless orphan must shelter and teach those who are cast-out and hunted, and as she does so, prepare herself for the path to ... ascension.
