About this audiobook
The eternal sky-mountain looms, its summit shrouded in clouds—a test of body, mind, and spirit.
In The Ascent, the third book in The Path of None epoch and the first standalone of The Ascent saga, Drakko, raised in the secluded Mahālaya Monastery, lives a life of discipline, meditation, and sacred teachings. When fate selects him as one of nine climbers to ascend the sky-mountain, his journey becomes more than a physical challenge—it’s a spiritual awakening.
Guided by three enigmatic masters, Drakko faces treacherous terrain, haunting illusions, and profound revelations that push him to his limits. Along the way, he confronts the deepest mysteries of existence and the raw beauty of human struggle.
Blending spiritual wisdom with epic adventure, The Ascent explores self-realization, enlightenment, and the eternal quest for meaning. As Drakko ascends, readers are invited to reflect on their own paths and discover what truths lie beyond the summit.
