SYNOPSIS
Desdemona, Felix and Jinx live as only children in their ordinary houses with their ordinary parents. But on their fifteenth birthdays, at the stroke of midnight, they come to realize nothing is as it seems. Thrown into a world completely unknown, they learn the identity of their biological mother, Jane Anchor, a member of the mysterious Asterian race and a woman whose goal is terror and destruction. As the Anchor kids enter The House, a group of Asterians who secretly co-exist with us to help mankind, Jane sets a plot in motion to lure her progeny to a fortress atop Truchas Peak. Seven days is all the Anchor kids have to liberate Asterians from Jane’s threatened reign of terror. Can three naïve, yet powerful kids confront evil and preserve a community of guardian angels on earth?
THREE BOUNDLESS STARS
I found The Ascension to be wonderful fantasy of magic, family and friends. I could not imagine living through what this set of triplets have; discovering they’ve had siblings their entire life, only to meet then at fifteen. Then it becomes unbelievable!
It was slow to start but after sticking with it; I found I loved the suspense and action. Overall a strong 3 Boundless Stars.
