Life took a twist she never expected.

All Charlaine ever wanted was to follow in her father's footsteps... until the moment she was forced to leave her old life behind to save her family.

Banished, her future uncertain, she begins anew as a Temple Knight, travelling to a distant land, seeking a place to call home.

When the past catches up with her destroying any chance of a new life, it's only after raiders ransack the coast that Charlaine's true mettle emerges. Suspecting all is not as it seems, she devises a plan that reveals a far greater danger than anyone ever imagined.

With her new family of Temple Knights, Charlaine leads them in a desperate gambit to thwart the ambitions of a mighty foe who has the power to destroy them all.

Journey along with Charlaine deShandria as she chases her destiny in the action-packed, intrigue-filled Temple Knight, the first book of Paul J Bennett's newest epic fantasy series, Power Ascending.
