The Awoken Series
- BOOK 1 -
The Whispering Sword
Andy has never felt like he belonged.
The only thing he knows is that he was found as a baby in an abandoned watch tower at the edge of town.
He has just turned 16 and dreams of living in the Awakened City, Cryto.
There, he could escape poverty, make friends, and maybe even find out who his real parents are. But to belong there, he must become an Awoken – a person with powers shaped by one’s true self.
During the annual Awakening Ceremony, where only a rare few 16-year-olds have their abilities awakened, Andy's dreams are shattered when the ritual doesn't work on him.
Just when all hope seems lost, he starts hearing whispers. Whispers only he can hear.
At first he tries to ignore them, but as the whispers grow more frequent, he decides to find out who, or what, is calling him.
In the highest floor of the abandoned watch tower, he discovers the source:
a mysterious, glowing white sword.
Not only does the sword begin to reveal mysteries about who he is, it Awakens his powers and begins his journey as the rarest and most powerful Awoken of all: a Guardian.
Now catapulted into the new world of the Awoken, Andy explores his new abilities, makes new friends, and explores his new life in the wonderous city of Cryto. But the Reapers, a mysterious enemy bent on ending all Awoken, re-emerge and threaten to end Andy's life, and the Awoken themselves.
With the world falling evermore into darkness, Andy is the only one with the power to bring back the light. But doing so would risk not only his life, but his loved ones as well.
Still struggling to know who he is and who to listen to, Andy must choose between bringing the light back into the world or hiding his powers and letting the world fall into the dark hands of the Reapers.
With only whispers guiding him, Andy’s decision is anything but clear...
