Chan has been chosen to deliver the good news and healing antidote... If his body doesn't reject the antibodies. Pete, who has been imprisoned and tortured by the Council, has been selected by Retter to be ambassador to the residents. But, does he possess the authority needed to persuade an entire city of skeptics? And, while in the Open Air, Fran struggles with her own failures questioning whether she'll always be an outcast living on the fringe of society. Until she finds the perfect instrument to bring her back into the fold. In this final installment of The Ascension Series, love, sacrifice, and forgiveness go head to head with evil in an effort to save a city. And a girl.
