Ascension by Kelley Armstrong (Otherworld online novella)

Author: Kelley Armstrong
1st Published: 2005

Ascension is another prequel to Bitten & picks up where Savage left off, following Clayton’s life as a young man, as well as Jeremy’s rise through the ranks of The Pack. It gives an even more in-depth look at the relationship between Jeremy & his father, Malcolm, as well as the Pack hierarchy & goes some way towards explaining why Clay becomes so feared by Mutts everywhere (the dark past that is only hinted at in Bitten).

Even more action-packed that Savage, this one is a non-stop roller-coaster ride filled with treachery & betrayal, as well as showing just how the Pack was so reduced in size by the time Elena came along. This back history is a thrilling read & very much recommended whether or not you’ve already read Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series. Pick them up & you won’t put them down again in a hurry!
