The Ascent: A Tale of the Greatest Pirate To Ever Live - Paperback

by Y. Hu (Author), Saier Hu (Editor)

In a world where the sea holds both peril and promise, Shi Yang's journey begins with blood and betrayal. Born of mysterious lineage and raised among the seafaring Hokans, she has always been drawn to the tides. But, when a desperate act sets her adrift in the dangerous waters of the South Pingshen Sea, she discovers a relic of immense power-and becomes the target of pirates, empires, and even the Heavens.

Swept aboard the legendary pirate fleet of Zheng Yi, Shi Yang must navigate the treacherous currents of loyalty and ambition. Amid fierce battles against sea dragons, imperial forces, and the shadows of her past, she fights for a power so great it could rival the Gods themselves.

However, the sea keeps its secrets, and Shi Yang's destiny is far greater than she could ever imagine. As storm clouds gather and alliances shift, she will have to choose between the power she craves and the humanity she risks losing.
