Transcendent Green

Earth has ascended... Magic tears through an unsuspecting planet of humans, bringing mythology and monsters to life-and providing humanity a chance to prove their mettle. Old grudges die hard... All Calum Green wants is to reach what remains of his family. Ninety miles of the Scottish Highlands stand between Calum and his family home in coastal Oban. He does not want to make that trek with his cheating ex-girlfriend's bestie at his side. Eilidh MacIntosh has always disliked Calum, and now she's armed with a bloody claymore on top of her haughty disdain. But the ascension directive is clear: humans cannot survive this new world alone, and this pair makes an annoyingly good team. With Calum's magic and their combined bad luck, the unlikely duo accidentally triggers a rare ascension quest: to find the perpetrator of a dangerous, corrupt magic that could make all of humanity into an endangered species.

Earth has ascended . . . Magic tears through an unsuspecting planet of humans, bringing mythology and monsters to life-and providing humanity a chance to prove their mettle. The hunt is on . . . Argyll is full of danger. With Eilidh loose on her own in the countryside, Calum and his friends are always one step behind on her trail. They don't know her route, only that Lord Sackington's people have murdered the team sent to rescue vulnerable refugees. But Eilidh has left a trail of magical breadcrumbs-a trail only Calum can follow. When they encounter the full horror of Sackington's hunger for power, it's no longer a few ragtag Scots against the wilds: it's a band of survivors against a rising evil. Their haven in Oban is in peril, and the beithir is back . . . and out for blood.

Earth has ascended . . . Magic tears through an unsuspecting planet of humans, bringing mythology and monsters to life-and providing humanity a chance to prove their mettle. A creeping infection and an enemy from the deep . . . Anomalies won't stop coming. With the community of Oban researching to the best of their ability, the ever-changing landscape only provides new challenges. The ascension has remade Oban, and the people are thriving, but Calum knows that can't last when new threats are born every day. Dangers in the sea to the west. Anomalies overland from the south. Every additional ally brings news of encroaching dangers. Oban may have built a bulwark against this brave new world, but when the anomalies claim a friend, the race is on to find something-anything-that can fight yet another wave of change in the ascension's arena. Oban has had a taste of what it could be like to thrive. First, they'll need to survive what has risen from the abyss.

Earth has ascended . . . Magic tears through an unsuspecting planet of humans, bringing mythology and monsters to life-and providing humanity a chance to prove their mettle. Corruption. Chaos. Conniving creatures. Earth's ascension continues, and Calum and Eilidh are on the trail of the corruption that has claimed their friend. With their community in Oban growing in leaps and bounds-and their new ability to travel to waypoints beyond-everything should feel more stable. But as their friend's condition worsens and new threats rear their heads to the south, time is ticking.

Earth has ascended . . . Magic tears through an unsuspecting planet of humans, bringing mythology and monsters to life-and providing humanity a chance to prove their mettle. The world teeters on the precipice between salvation . . . and damnation. With the anomaly in control of one of Scotland's major cities and tens of thousands devoured, the race to find a solution is officially on, and the corruption shows its teeth. When members of Calum's inner circle fall to the repulsive, incurable sickness, the situation grows desperate. For weeks, Calum and Eilidh have focused on strengthening their community ties and reconnecting the globe. But with every step forward comes a kickback straight to the chest. The anomaly is on the move, and if they don't find a way to stop it once and for all, all of Earth will fall. If they thought one apocalypse was bad, this one could truly leave the entire planet in rotted tatters of destruction. Forget mutant rats and alien adversaries: the battle for Earth's soul just became a war.
