In a world where the dead march as an unstoppable Legion, one desperate prophecy offers humanity's last hope-awaken the Sleeping King.
When the fortress city of Greykeep falls to Maltherion's Deathless Legion, young scholar Kaelen Vross discovers an ancient prophecy hidden in forbidden texts. The legendary Aregor the Uniter isn't dead-he sleeps beneath Silverwatch Hill, waiting to rise again when the world needs him most.
But waking a king who once united the realm through blood and conquest comes with a terrible price. As Kaelen assembles an unlikely fellowship-a battle-hardened commander, an elven ranger, a dwarf historian, and a street thief with unexpected destiny-they must face an impossible question: Is unleashing one tyrant the only way to stop another?
The dead are marching. The kingdoms are falling. And the cure might be worse than the disease.
An epic tale of desperate choices, unlikely heroes, and the price of salvation, THE AWAKENING launches an unforgettable fantasy trilogy about power, sacrifice, and what happens when prophecies come true.
