Ascendant

The world's most powerful ascendant is transformed into his younger self-with no memory of who he truly is-and must harness his forgotten skills to survive. While celebrating his latest victory, Exarch Niramyn carelessly lets his guard down. Seeing his chance, the mighty Myzalik-Nym's rival of a thousand years-casts a spell that sends him back to adolescence, with no idea who he really is or how he came to be washed up on the beach of Bloodfin Cove. Fortunately, the kindly Ciana comes along and saves him. But she quickly realizes he's no ordinary child. For one thing, he has magical abilities she's never seen in someone so young. And for another, he can fly. Of course, not everyone welcomes Nym with open arms. When he kills a man who threatens him and Ciana, he's forced to flee into the woods lest anyone should seek vengeance. Winding up in the town of Zoskan, he starts working for Cern the alchemist, and soon his unusual gifts are noted at the local mage's guildhall, his raw power and magical acumen clearly well beyond his years. His training thus begins in earnest, and before he knows it, he's looking for a way to attend the school of magic known as the Academy. But how to afford the tuition? When a local thief blackmails him into breaking into the home of a wealthy noble family, Nym seizes the opportunity to ally himself with them instead. However, his old crime is sure to catch up with him eventually, and he still hasn't discovered who he really is or why he can do what he can do. Will Nym ever regain his lost talents-or will he be stuck in the form of a mageling forever?

When the world's most powerful ascendant is magicked into the body of a boy with no memory of his true self, he must face off against an army of the undead. It's only been a year since Nym awakened washed up on a beach with no memory of where he came from. But he looks five years older, and his abilities have grown at an extraordinary rate. Unbeknownst to him, Nym is really the mighty Exarch Niramyn, banished into a child's-now teenager's-body by his archrival of a thousand years. In search of some easy money, Nym and his friends have found work as earth mages in the town of Ebalsan, building fortifications against the rising incursion of the undead. But Nym is badly injured by one of the wights, and suffers a matrix destabilization, rendering him unable to perform magic. To make matters worse, the mysterious Collective is on his tail. Now, Nym must learn to embrace the full extent of his power if he hopes to have even the slightest chance of beating back his enemies-both dead and alive . . .

The world's most powerful ascendant thought he'd finally found peace, but relics of the past will force him to face foes both familiar and extraordinary. Nym has won his freedom and earned himself a comfortable existence. He has everything he needs to thrive, including personal tutoring in the ways of magic from an actual archmage. But just when he thinks the danger is behind him, a figure from his alter ego's past finally tracks him down. Confronted by a force he could never hope to defeat as his new self, Nym must make a choice between running or accepting the return of his old memories. With them comes Niramyn, the being he was, a being he doesn't want to become again, but who might just be his only chance at salvation. Giving in means gaining the power Nym needs to defend himself against a race of what may as well be gods, but it could also mean the destruction of everything and everyone he's come to love over the last few years of his new life. And of course, it means facing off against the only ascendant to ever figure out how to kill an immortal, a fight he already lost once. Nym is desperate to find a way to survive, but what can he do against such an overwhelming foe? And is it really survival if he has to pay the ultimate price?
