Cheyenne Lane never believed it could come to this—imprisoned by her own family, who are plotting to overthrow the Vampire Council. Ripped away from the happiness of her summer romance and friendship in New Orleans, Cheyenne is forced to begin her education at Clandestine, the secret Deuxsang University, one year early.
She is guarded constantly, separated from her best friend Anne, and desperate for any word from Eli and the witches. Meanwhile, her cousin Lilith has discovered that Cheyenne possesses all four vampiric abilities—unheard of for a Deuxsang—and intends to use her in the Ascending’s rebellious scheme.
At 17, Cheyenne finds herself the center of a centuries-old conspiracy involving the vampires, Deuxsang, and witches, and everyone is telling her who she should trust and what she should do. Her head is too full of voices and opinions, and it’s time for Cheyenne to decide.
Is she ready to step into the role she was made for? Who can she trust? Who is her friend, and who is her enemy? Is she a born leader? All questions that only she can answer. As the information and scenario get more confusing, she knows she must listen to her intuition if she is going to shift the truth from all the lies.

Praise for Clandestine:
“Dark, surprising, and full of twists, the Ascension series is a delectable addition to vampire canon. Rials paints a rich and engrossing world of vampires, half-vampires and witches– each with their own agenda. Cheyenne’s struggle to be free is one that every girl will recognize, and I rooted for her as she bristled against the roles cast for her by society. It’s the story of a girl yearning to come into her own powers, powers both frightening and beautiful.” Maggie Thrash, author of L.A. Times Book Prize nominee Honor Girl
Oh man it just keeps getting better!! I couldn’t put this book down. 2 days later I finished the second book and can not wait to receive the final book to see what happens to Cheyenne and her crew! This book just pulls you in and you lose all track of time. A. Muncy
The fast-moving plot, surprising twists, and fun imagination made this second book in the Ascension series a great read. There was one small problem on my Kindle version, though. The last line of the book should be, “My, isn’t it a beautiful day?” Instead, it starts repeating one of the earlier chapters. I am looking forward to devouring the final book in this trilogy!
