In a world on the brink of ecological collapse, humanity is no longer the only force deciding Earth's future.
Beneath forests, oceans, deserts and tundra lies Kukangama - an ancient living network connecting every species on the planet. For millennia, the Natural World Council, known as the Neter, has maintained the balance between life and extinction. But now the balance is breaking. The forests burn. Oceans choke with plastic. Species vanish by the day.
The Regenerants believe humanity can still change. The Severants believe humanity has already gone too far.
Caught between these forces is sixteen-year-old Fynn Stevens, an isolated boy who has always felt different from everyone around him. When his dog Ben reveals a hidden connection to Kukangama, Fynn becomes the first human in thousands of years able to hear the voice of the living world. But he is not the only one awakening. Hidden beneath the centres of human power, a secret organisation known as The Order of the Veil has spent centuries suppressing humanity's connection to nature, determined to preserve human dominance at any cost. And they are already watching Fynn. As climate systems fail and the Natural World edges toward irreversible collapse, Fynn must decide whether humanity deserves saving - before the living world makes that decision for itself.
The Awakening is a powerful speculative eco-thriller blending climate fiction, philosophical science fiction, and mythic fantasy into a story about survival, consciousness, and humanity's forgotten relationship with the natural world. Perfect for readers of Richard Powers, Margaret Atwood, and Jeff VanderMeer.
