The Most Wonderful Time…3
Thanks to those who posted to social media last week. This week’s winner is Saidy Walker!
This is the final week of the contest, and one in which I want to talk about The Ascendance Series.
Book 1 is THE FALSE PRINCE.
Sage is a thief and an orphan and is doing just fine on his own. But when he is taken away by a regent to the king, Bevin Conner, he begins to understand that he has just become part of a dangerous and treasonous plot. Three other boys have been taken as well: Roden, who is strong and ambitious. Tobias, who is smart and plotting. And Latamer, with a good heart, but a sick body. One of these boys will go on to impersonate the missing prince of the kingdom, now heir to the throne. Sage wants no part of it, but he also understands that the boys who are not chosen will be killed, so that no one else will ever discover this plan. However, it turns out that Sage may have a plan of his own…
If you haven’t read this book, please do. And if you’ve only read this first book, please go on to the second book, THE RUNAWAY KING, or the third, THE SHADOW THRONE, though I promise you, I will only make things harder on Sage each time.
Some of readers’ favorite quotes for this series are listed below.
THE FALSE PRINCE
“Master Graves was incensed and said, as punishment for my disruption, I would have to write my letters an extra ten times that day.
“Ten times the better I’ll know them, then.” I said. “How strange that you should punish me by ensuring I come out more educated than Roden, who has tried to obey you.”
AND ALSO…
“I never denied being a fool. That’s the difference between us.”
THE RUNAWAY KING
“Above all else, I think that you are a compulsive liar.”
My laughter was tense, but sincere. “Hardly. In fact, I consider myself a compulsive truth teller. It’s only that everyone else seems compelled to misunderstand me.”
AND ALSO…
“Erick: “I think I may grow to hate you before this is over.”
Sage: “But you don’t already and that’s got to be some sort of record.”
THE SHADOW THRONE
“Nobody gives you respect in this life. You must take it, you must earn it, and then you must hold it sacred, because no matter how hard respect is to attain, it can be lost in an instant.”
AND ALSO…
“Villains and plots and enemies are simple things to me. But friendships are complicated, and love is harder still. It has wounded me deeper than a sword ever could.”
