Rena’s delusions feel more like repressed memories, and exploring them with the help of her counselor is only making them more vivid … and harder to explain. As she retraces the steps of her past in hopes of validating her intuition, Rena discovers that Esh’s history has been lost to the distractions of the present. And she is not the only one concerned with the truth of her identity. Others are willing to kill for it.
The third of four children and an introvert from the start, Jason Tesar grew up as an imaginative “middle child” who enjoyed the make-believe world as much as the real one, possibly more. From adolescence to adulthood, his imagination continued to feed itself on a diet of books, movies, and art, all the while growing and maturing—waiting for its opportunity. Then, during a procession of monotonous, physically laborious day-jobs, his imagination leaped into motion, bringing together characters and locations of a world that would someday come to life on the pages of a book.
In late 1998, Jason made his first attempt at writing, managing to complete a whole scene before returning once again to reality. A year and a half later, a spontaneous night-time conversation with his wife encouraged him to take his writing seriously and to keep on dreaming. Over the next seven years, Jason carved time out of the real world to live in an imaginary one of epic fantasy, science-fiction, and military/political conflict. The fruits of this labor would later become the first three books of the bestselling AWAKENED series.
Due to the incredible support from readers around the world, Jason continued his trajectory into make-believe, jumping from stable employment in the micro-electronics industry into the mysterious abyss of full-time writing.
Living in Colorado with his beautiful wife and two children, Jason now spends the majority of his time fusing the best parts of his favorite genres into stories of internal struggle and triumph, friendship, betrayal, political alliances, and military conflict.

Just finished and really enjoying this story. The only problem now is that I have to wait for the next book. I have read all of the Jason Tesar books and I am a big fan. Cannot wait for the next one ☺
Great book wished it had been longer read it in one sitting would definitely recommend this. Another great story from Jason eagerly awaiting the next book
Nice short read leaving you weaning for more. Can' wait to see where this ends up. If you like science fiction involving dystopian societies then you will enjoy this series.
If this was meant to be YA then I'm sorry for the 3 stars. Great book for teens. I think it can improve once they get out of Esh. Esh is just irritating. Gbash
