Dear Friend,
I’m thrilled to share the next chapter in The Kingdom Series, the story I’ve poured my heart and faith into. After my debut novel, Ascension, introduced readers to a world of unfulfilled longing, unseen realms, and unshakable love, I’m now working on Inheritance, the second book in the series, and this time, it’s Eliza Brown and Nathan Scott’s story.
Eliza is the sweetest and most nurturing of the three girls introduced in Ascension. Innocent, motherly, and seemingly perfect, she radiates warmth and care, but appearances can be deceiving. Nathan Scott, her childhood friend, has been by her side for years. Homeschooled together after Eliza’s move from Houston to Dallas, they share a bond that is deep, enduring, and, though neither admits it, a passionate love that neither can ignore.
Nathan comes from what looks like the perfect family: parents happily married, a childhood full of love and stability. But during college, a traumatic event changed his life forever. Despite becoming a computer genius and running his own successful business, Nathan conceals his wounds from the world.
Eliza and Nathan share a secret, a hidden connection that neither wants to reveal. A warm hum permeates their skin whenever they are near each other, inviting them to be more than just friends. Their love is undeniable, yet their lives have other plans.
Everything changes after Eliza’s 25th birthday. She discovers she has the power to manipulate air, awakening the abilities tied to the creatures she’s been seeing since childhood, the very reason she was homeschooled. When Adramalech takes her parents captive, Eliza, along with Nora Kelley and Shauna Washington, vows to rescue them and make Adramalech pay. Along the way, new threats and enemies rise, and the line between loyalty, love, and duty is tested. Saving her parents may come at an unimaginable cost, one that could change everything she holds dear.
Inheritance is more than a tale of battles between good and evil; it’s about love, faith, and the price of obedience. It’s about trusting God’s call even when the path is dangerous and recognizing that the strongest love often comes with the highest stakes.
For readers who loved Ascension, Inheritance continues the journey of unfulfilled longing, unseen worlds, and unshakable love caught between Heaven’s call and the fire rising within. Eliza and Nathan’s story is filled with hidden passion, slow-burn romance, and spiritual depth that I hope will leave readers both inspired and eager for what comes next in The Kingdom Series.
I cannot wait for you to experience Eliza and Nathan’s journey, their struggles, their secrets, their love, and their faith because the world of The Kingdom Series is only growing richer, more dangerous, and more extraordinary.
With faith, suspense, and heart,
Tori Ashlyn
