The Ascension of Souls
The first book in an epic new fantasy series for fans of The Jasmine Throne, She Who Became the Sun, and Game of Thrones.
A broken prophecy
In a land where an ancient prophecy is renewed every generation, two countries are trapped in a repeating cycle of war. But the cycle is broken, and destiny is beginning to unravel.
Two people bound by fate
Luminara, a palace servant, sneaks into the birthday party of the newly anointed ruler, Rianthran, where the two form a forbidden bond.
As Rianthran prepares for the sacred ritual of Ascension, Luminara's secret powers start to make themselves known. Haunted by visions of the past and terrified of what it means for her country's future, Luminara must choose a side.
One chance to right the world
As war looms, the Empire teeters on the edge of upheaval. Can the cycle be mended, the shared destiny of its people restored? Or will they forge a new future, free from the chains of prophecy?
The first in the Broken Cycle trilogy, The Ascension of Souls is an epic fantasy with intricate worldbuilding, complex characters, political schemes, and a unique magic system.

About the Author
Bronte-Marie is a fantasy author from Sydney, Australia. A book lover by trade and a content creator for a giggle, she's a never-ending storyteller with a highly visual brain . . . so she writes. From love letters to fun fantasy epics, Bronte-Marie credits her wife with giving her the push she needed to improve her craft and start writing fully formed books, breathing life into stories she could only dream of creating alone. When she's not lost in her own imagination, Bronte-Marie escapes into her latest gaming obsession, or exercises her creativity through drawing and painting if she can find the time in her busy schedule.
