The Third Ascension
Marit Sarn can see the flaw in any fight. Her illegal gift makes her useful—and marks her for death.
Ossian Dyre and Kestrel Vane, the feared Blackglass Kings, have shared a bed, a kill count, and the top of every Board for six years.
The realm believes their two-man build needs no third.
Marit knows the truth: their victories are paid for by the expendable people the Concord quietly feeds into the gap.
When a stolen warrant ledger puts Marit in the Kings’ vault, she offers them more than evidence.
She offers a route to the Third Ascension no crew has cleared alive.
To reach it, the guarded Anvil, the reckless Edge, and the rogue architect must turn a hostage bargain into a genuine crew.
Tropes: why choose (MMF), female-led triad, progression fantasy, hostage bargain, earned HEA
