Liminal Dawn

Book 2

by Lucent Steele

The System has awakened.
Earth will change—forever.

Nanites now flood the atmosphere. The System overlays reality. And humanity stands on the brink of something far greater… and far more dangerous.

As the first waves of the Tutorial end, the Core Council emerges into a world still blind to what’s coming. But shadows are already stirring.

Threats from without. Secrets from within. And eyes—unseen—watching from beyond.
In this next phase of human evolution, strength alone won’t be enough.

Those who rise must earn it.
Wield it.
Anchor it in something real.

The dawn is liminal. The future, unwritten. But at last, humanity is finally given the tools it needs.

Will it be enough?

Book Two of The Ascension Framework Series is a high-stakes fusion of LitRPG, science fiction, and speculative transformation that began with The System Rises.

About the Author

Lucent Steele writes stories about what happens when humanity collides with destiny, when the impossible becomes inevitable.

His books weave light LitRPG System mechanics with near-future science fiction and deeply personal character arcs. At their heart, they’re about growth: leveling up, pushing past limits, and finding out whether humanity is truly ready for the power it has always dreamed of obtaining.

Lucent’s debut series, The Ascension Framework, explores a future where nanotech, karmic systems, and alien incursions force humanity to confront what it’s truly made of. The first four books are available on Amazon now, with the fifth coming in Summer of 2026.

His second series begins with "Cardinal Velocity," and is a fast-paced, high-octane thriller LitRPG, where the same man in three universes is inducted into the System at the same time. One is a Navy SEAL, the second an elite major league pitcher, and the third a cybersecurity genius. They must each race to become strong enough for what is coming. Book two, "Cardinal Counterweight" will be published in the Fall of 2026.

Lucent spent his career in sales in the steel industry and is passionate about sustainability and the future of humanity.

He lives in Michigan with his wife, their dog Minnie, and their cat Kiki.
