Ascension by SA Wallace

The discovery of ancient texts carved in stone and on metallic paper was only the beginning of an adventure on two separate worlds linked inexorably by the past. Now came the translation and the unraveling of a mystery that dated back to before the recorded dawn of mankind. Records of devastation and resurrection coupled with ancient technology and genetic manipulation provided clues to where we came from and how to connect with descendants of a long forgotten mythical race. Magic combines with science in a race against time to save one world from destruction while providing the other with a better future.
