Books Of Ascension 1. Each summer, twin brothers in their eighteenth year are chosen to make a perilous journey to the Summit of the Great Mountain. There, if they have survived their dangerous and difficult Paths, they will be witness to the Zenith - and the secrets of the Mountain and the powers they hold will be revealed to them. Atreu and his brother Teyth are among those chosen to ascend. But as Atreu follows his torturous Path, he discovers that other, unknown forces also crave the awesome power of Zenith and will stop at nothing to make it their own - even if it means destroying the very thing that sustains all life - the Mountain itself.
