Everyone has depths, some are aware of it, some are not. Soon two boys at opposing sides of the world will find their own depths. But what is this voice they keep hearing? Is it simple insanity? A malevolent spirit? A trapped, wild beast? Or something else altogether? Neither knows, but there's no doubt about it both hear it's chilling cry. Both share the same dark fate. Awakening, the first in the Depths series, plunges the reader into a terrible new reality. Crime, accident, loss, and death, are no stranger as the boys become men. Innocence is lost, and fear is realised. Just how far will they truly go? To what level will they sink? How far can they rise? Even they don't know what lies in their futures. Futures that could change the course of the world.
