Ascension by S.T. GibsonExpected publication: July 8, 2025 by Angry Robot
From the international bestselling author of Evocation comes it’s hotly anticipated and spellbinding sequel, where Rhys steps into his new role as High Priest. A magical read for lovers of traditional urban fantasy.
Ever since Rhys McGowan was a boy, he’s only wanted two things: power and love.
Now, as High Priest of Boston’s premiere Secret Society, husband to his adoring witch wife Moira, and partner to David – his psychic rival-turned-boyfriend, Rhys is finally at peace. But when a strange ritual rocks Boston’s occult community, and opens the Society up to sabotage, Rhys delves even deeper into the dark world of demon-summoning. He’s used to carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, but the strain of managing so many spirits (not to mention the stress of his loved ones exploring other people) will push him to the brink.
As heaven and hell play tug of war for Rhys’ soul, he’ll have to face the greatest demon of all: his own insatiable ambition.
The second book in the bestselling Summoner’s Circle series sees beloved characters return for an all new dark and enthralling adventure.
I loved Evocation (and Odd Spirits) so of course I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I’m really excited to be reunited with Rhys, Moira and David again. 😍😍😍
Are you also looking forward to this book? What do you think of it?

I love how their dynamic keeps shifting, so it will be interesting to see where these characters wind up!
Agreed! 😀
While urban fantasy is not my thing, I hope you enjoy reading Ascension.
I am not much of a fantasy reader, but I really enjoy seeing the books, they all have great covers
Hope this series continues to be a hit for you!
I still need to read the first one in this series, but hey, at least I own it already. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know book two would be out so soon.
Oh yes, I am also waiting for this one. Or well, I still need to read the first one. Haha. But I am already hyped for the next one. Also this cover is GORGEOUS.
A Secret Society! I haven’t read the first book yet, but I hope to! Ascension sounds like it will be good too. I hope you love it when you read it!
