Warlock Ascending
Rex Somerset is a powerful warlock tasked with keeping a modern city’s magic hidden and under control—until a hexed young witch forces him to bend the rules to keep her alive. As desire, danger, and politics collide, Rex begins questioning the rigid coven system that governs magic itself.
Rex’s growing influence draws dangerous attention when a brutal warlock enslaving witches threatens the city—and reveals secrets tied to Rex’s own bloodline. Power comes at a cost, and choosing how to use it may make Rex a target of the very Elders he serves.
With his coven expanding and unconventional bonds forming, Rex pushes magical limits no warlock has survived before. As hidden enemies close in and loyalties are tested, the line between protection and domination grows dangerously thin.
Power demands loyalty. Loyalty demands trust. As Rex’s unconventional coven grows stronger, so do the forces that want it broken. In a city where magic is regulated and desire is political, forging a coven means risking everything.
What began as a fragile experiment—a coven built on trust, power, and choice—has become something far more dangerous. The mesh binding Rex and his witches is evolving. Strengthening. Adapting.
When a magical attack strands Rex Somerset and his family on Earth, they must survive in a world where magic barely exists while searching for a path home. Their journey will test the strength of their family, forge unexpected alliances, and reveal that exile is only the beginning of a far greater conflict.
