Overview

ASCENT OF THE FALLEN is the explosive finale to this YA urban fantasy trilogy-a mash-up of Stranger Things and The Walking Dead, with the raw edge of I Am Not Okay With This. Faith McDaniels never asked to be chosen. Three weeks ago, she didn't know about energy-bending, the hidden realm of Enlitra, or the nameless exile determined to destroy her. Now, with her best friends Kiara, Tomas, and Michael at her side, Faith flees through a city where the dead rise faster than the living can fight back. The deeper Faith leans into her power, the closer she teeters to breaking. Her visions blur reality, her energy surges beyond her control, and He waits for the moment she slips. Faith's only chance is to embrace the truth she fears most: victory demands sacrifice. To end Him, she must burn brighter than she ever imagined, even if it consumes her completely. Because sometimes saving the world doesn't mean surviving it.

Born in NH and now living in NJ, Michelle spends her days negotiating contracts with Fortune 500 companies and her nights breaking the rules of reality on the page. She enjoys blending the ordinary with the extraordinary, pulling inspiration from fandom, strange science, and the quirks of everyday life to create stories about teens fighting for connection, survival, and hope when everything around them is falling apart. Her work has earned recognition from Kirkus Reviews, The BookLife Prize by Publishers Weekly, Writer's Digest, and Readers' Favorite. She is also a finalist for multiple national and international book awards and has been featured in TopShelf Magazine and Woman's World.
