The Ascension Trilogy was Gaelen Foley’s debut series, published between 1998 and 2000. The books are set in a fictional Mediterranean kingdom and blend swashbuckling adventure with historical romance. The Pirate Prince (1998) introduces a prince-turned-pirate who returns to reclaim his throne.
Princess (1999) and Prince Charming (2000) continue the story with new romances connected to the royal family. The trilogy set the template for Foley’s later work: detailed settings, strong heroines, and heroes with dangerous secrets.
