If the Walls Fall (And The Growing Divide)

If the Walls Fall is book 1 in The Ascend Trials.

If you live life like you’re in a romance novel, ending up in a fantasy saga would surprise anyone. For serial romantic and reader Grace, she’s less surprised and more disbelieving. When she arrives in the Kingdom of Dalner, she assumes it’s all a dream. After all, Dalner is a world full of magic and attentive love interests, something no rational seventeen year old could believe is real.

Even more improbable are the hints that Grace was brought to save the Kingdom from their northern enemies, magical immortals like the mysterious Woman, who seek to tear down the walls caging them in. But as a non-magical human with no special powers (unless turning every situation into a romantic plot counts), Grace can barely keep herself alive, much less harness the skills needed to save the world.

While Grace struggles to prove she’s not the girl they’re looking for, outside forces drag her towards a deadly conclusion, one that may cost more than just her new friendships. To escape the evils threatening to destroy the Kingdom and protect her first love, she must confront her own definition of heroism and discover her inner power before it’s too late.

The Growing Divide is the prequel novella in the Ascend Trials.

When Grace lands in Sekai in IF THE WALLS FALL, the world is already split in two. On one side live the immortals, the Light and Dark magic beings called Eósy. On the other side are the Sarkàny, descendants of the immortal Eósy who walled themselves off from magic millennia ago. But the world wasn’t always split, and the wall didn’t grow peacefully, but burst from the earth fed by blood and betrayal.
