Aesymarean Duet #2

The Aesmyrean Duet by Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox is an epic romantasy duology within the Sundered Realms Extended Universe, launching with The Ascended , where Thais Morvaren, a young woman hiding her rare starlight-forging magic in a coastal village, is exposed during a priest's ritual and forcibly entered into the deadly Trials of Ascension alongside her twin brother Thatcher. Thrust into brutal competitions for godhood against the tyrannical King of the Gods—the Aesymar—she's bound to a mentor, the arrogant necromancer prince Xül, whose sharp banter and dark secrets ignite tense, forbidden chemistry amid high-stakes challenges, political intrigue, and an ancient malevolent force threatening the divine realm. As Thais channels her defiance into survival and vengeance, navigating betrayals, celestial powers, and unraveling heavens, the duet explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, and destiny in a lush world of shadow magic and cosmic peril.
