On the eve of the 1844 Summer Solstice, four men in different parts of the world form an unlikely bond a collision of space, time, and other worlds impact their future generations.
The bloodlines of Nicolae Ganoush (a young Romani fugitive from a slave village in Wallachia), Jonathan Blake (an eighteen-year-old Irishman from the American Midwest), James Livingston (a prominent figure in 19th century New York), and Hector de Fuentes (a sixteen-year-old young man from Tuxpan, Mexico with special gifts and visions enhanced by a mysterious and wondrous cave) carry unbelievable ancient truths deep within their lineages, and demons that are much closer to home than any of them would like.
Later in 1931, seventeen-year-old Dorothy Blake, a descendant of Jonathan Blake and his Dakota Sioux wife, is living in Plains, New York, the town founded by James Livingston during the 19th century. The notorious Fleming Orphanage has fallen into disuse after the mysterious events that led to its downfall. The buildings loom high on a hill, overlooking the town, taunting the townsfolk with its lore.
On Halloween night, Dorothy and her friends venture up to the old orphanage, the group of six expecting nothing more than a good time along with a few laughs. It isn't long before their night of All Hallow's Eve fun falls into a dark, twisting evil extending beyond the orphanage and town of Plains.
Descent begins following the four patriarchs and their origins, before the stories of their descendants unfold.
Their descent is only the beginning…

The Birthrite Series is an epic journey into the vast unknown, plunging deep into the dark crevices of the mind, begging the question of what sanity really is and if the insane truly are. Are we really shown the whole truth of what surrounds us or is it an illusion? It also tells of deep-rooted love, planted centuries ago and a story of family, forgiveness, and redemption.

READER REVIEWS:

"...one of those books that you "cannot put down." While reading Tiffany's literary work of art, I was transported into multiple times and dimensions, and it was if I was really there! I soon began to identify and fall in love with the characters as if I really knew them in my reality" - Lauralee (Amazon reader)

"Descent (Birthrite I) is wonderful novel with intricate writing and definitely approachable by anyone who enjoys attaching themselves to intense characters. Apan has successfully melded together several genres here. The story is rooted in romantic character building with splashes of fantasy and erotica (both dark and innocent). The inclusion, and amount, of research into Indo-European heritage coupled with Celtic and Native American Indian mythologies and mysticism is superb (the supernatural plays a role here as well). The novel is pretty long, but I appreciated its length (I like longer novels). I believe there was no other way to keep the story intact without its length.

This book would appeal to folks who like romance, dark passion, fantasy, mysticism, history, genealogy and overall good writing."- Chris (Amazon Review)

"The Descent is much like a rabbit hole of the unexpected and you will find yourself perking your eyebrows in curiosity more often than not. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy suspenseful stories with a unique plot." - Scribbled Dreams and Enchanting Things
