Of Lavender and Ash: The Ascension Rising Series - Book 2

by K. R. Rainbolt

About this book

What would you do to live?

The Eternium Ball grows ever closer, and with it, comes old foes that threaten to shatter the already strained bond of the Vivas Crypt. Now, I'm left stumbling with a whole new set of problems, each more complex than the last.

Ascension Rising, the ones responsible for years of torture, is looking for me, and there's no telling what they'll do when they find me or how they'll punish me for escaping them.

My growing attraction to the Vampires who saved me, and the ever present reality that death is only one Rend away, drive us forward. We need to figure out what I am and find a way to survive the Eternium all in one breath. It will be a miracle if we all make it out alive.

And if I've learned anything... it's that miracles don't happen to me.

Authors Note: Of Lavender and Ash is the second book of four in the Ascension Rising Series. It’s a slow-burn paranormal romance with five love interests and no need for our main girl to choose between them. Some readers may find the content in this book upsetting, so please read the complete list of warnings provided on my website. Take care of yourself, and happy reading!!

Absolutely wonderful continuation of Aaliyah’s story!

May 23, 2023

I had tons of thoughts starting this book, but I was still completely blown away by some of the things we learn. This book picks up just about where we left off with Of Glass and Lavender and it is pretty much nonstop. I love how much they are all growing, individually and as a family, and and how their relationships are strengthening as a result. Aaliyah hasn’t had an easy life and for so long didn’t have any support so to have the guys is a major change for her. However, she’s all in and just...

Warning! this is not complete!

July 15, 2023

So I saw this book on TikTok and when I went to check before reading the first it only showed the 2 completed books. Not that there is another with a complete date out there. I was so so so sad to read this only to find out it’s incomplete and ends on a hell of a cliff hanger. I don’t usually read series while they are in progress. Like the last one though it was a great read. I love the plot and story line I wish there was just more between the characters. More communication, more romance,...

Book 2 gives you more answers

September 3, 2025

I had some questions after book one, book 2 filled in a lot of those, but also gave me more questions. I’m hoping book 3 answers them all. Characters are developing, getting some spicy on, love the feeling this book gave. )

Riveting

This story is so engaging and riveting. So many handsome vampires, all with their own traima-the men are incredibly interesting, and Aaliyah is their perfect mate. I waited to finish this for the next book to come out ....Mind the cliffie! I cannot wait to see what will come next in this story. )

An Amazingly Perfect Sequal!

May 24, 2023

Where do I even start with this book? Everything I loved about the first book was turned up to eleven. The stakes were higher, the spice was delicious... There was just so much to absolutely love! It was so easy to get sucked back in and immerse myself in the world and the characters. Oh, and I am a complete and utter simp for all the men in Ali's harem, but especially for Prince. I love him so much, the sassy man! And it's such a testament to KR's writing that I could fall in love with all of...
