Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

THEY PROMISED REDEMPTION. THEY DELIVERED HELL.In the rotting halls of the Sleep House, Wendy Holowitz is known as "The Beast Under the Stairs." A pariah among addicts, she has spent years trading her soul for Grace-a white-powdered divinity that numbs the pain but feeds the hunger.When Wendy is tapped for the sacred ritual of Ascension, she thinks she's finally found a way out of the gutter. She thinks she is being saved.She was wrong.Cast into a landscape of suffocating fog and jagged bone, Wendy is no longer a seeker-she is prey. Stalked by masked hunters and haunted by the ghosts of those she failed, she must navigate a gauntlet where "faith" is a weapon and "blessing" is a curse written in blood.But the mountain holds a darker secret. The Order isn't looking for saints; they are performing a spiritual surgery. And to survive the procedure, Wendy must embrace the very thing she's spent a lifetime running from: herself.Perfect for fans of Paul Tremblay's psychological dread and Clive Barker's visceral body horror, Ascension is a descent into a world where faith isn't about saving your soul-it's about surviving the transformation into something terrifying.Step into the Sleep House. Witness the Ascension. Become the Beast.(Ascension is the first book in the Faith & Deed series, a modern grimdark fantasy set in the world of the Lazarus Spiral. Contains mature themes. Reader discretion advised.)
