New Alpha Rising: Ascension Part I
Description
<p>Countless years ago, measured in thousands, the Gods came first. Monstrous creations were born of their frivolity. Like the Gods, some of the creations were peaceful, others not. Their duty to preserve the earth completed once more, however, the day came that the Gods had to leave earth. Unleashed and with loose regulation, the abominable creations left behind multiplied. In their midst, another conception came to be, and his kind would exist absolutely outside of the God’s purview.<br />Unmated, alone, and untrusting of others, Chatran was charged to go to a place and protect the father of a great child, yet unborn. This duty, however, was unknown to the most cognizant part of Chatran. Only the Beast, who resided within him, knew. As a result, the Beast led Chatran to Walhalla, North Dakota. Although his initial charge was to protect the father he found there, Chatran also gained a mate and Pack. With them, Chatran also found a new way forward, and started on a course that would lead to – New Alpha Rising: Ascension.</p>

Reviews
<p class="MsoNormal">"This is beautifully written, utterly engaging and
rather scary. Everything it sets out to do, it accomplishes brilliantly."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Daisy Anne Gree, author of Babylon</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">"Your clever way of mixing well research
anthropological and geological material into your story has me believing
everything. It seems so real. The relationship between Phil and Connie is so
parasitical and common in universities."</p>
