[Awaken Saga 01] • Awaken the Dawn

A cryptic puzzle. A family secret. A deadly betrayal.

When her father dies during a business trip to Romania, Kat Barrett blames herself for their failed relationship. She's racked with guilt, haunted by strange dreams about the crash that killed him, and she’d do anything to have him back.

Then a package arrives. It’s from her father and contains a list of clues — one of his classic scavenger hunts. Desperate for answers, she follows the clues to Bucharest and meets Maksim, a local with a dark past who offers to help. Kat doesn't trust him, but when she hits a dead end, she’s left with no other choice.

As they work together, decoding the clues while trying (unsuccessfully) not to fall for each other, the scavenger hunt reveals a dangerous secret the dreams have been pointing to, something Maksim’s old crime ring has been hiding all along, and Kat has walked into their trap.

Can she beat them to the final clue — and solve it — before she suffers the same tragic fate as her father?

Get ready for an exhilarating ride full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the final, breathtaking conclusion. Perfect for fans of 'Sherlock', The Bourne Identity, puzzle mysteries like The Da Vinci Code and Inheritance Games, and clever crime thrillers like The Naturals and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
