When the world starts to unravel, it doesn’t begin with sirens or headlines: it starts with whispers in the forest and strange cracks in the earth. In a time when climate collapse is no longer a warning but a terrifying reality, Sarah and a scattered group of survivors must race to each other and navigate a land where the rules of nature have changed; where humans aren't welcome.  Gripping, thought-provoking, and eerily believable, The Awakening is a grounded environmental thriller that taps into our deepest fears; and dares to offer a glimmer of hope.
