Awakenings

Thirteen-year-old Jax is the Boar Clan's 'weak link'--a lowly gatherer who spends his days scavenging bones in the dusty North African tundra. But when a brutal ritual meant to exile him triggers a flood of impossible memories, Jax realizes he isn't just a boy. He is the reawakening of an ancient High Priest, and the survival of the world rests on his frail shoulders. Alongside Nara, a girl haunted by the echoes of a past-life diplomat, and Soren, a rival who leads through brawn and bitterness, Jax must navigate a prehistoric landscape where the laws of nature are being rewritten by a surging supernatural force. As a sentient fog of ash begins to consume the land, the group must find the Sun-Priest's Torque--a relic buried beneath the very tribe that rejected them. Can Jax reconcile his identity as a scavenger with the burden of an ancient leader? Or will the Void swallow the North African tundra before the teens can forge a new civilization from the ashes of the old? Awakenings is the first book in a gripping new YA series that blends the primal intensity of prehistoric survival with the mind-bending scope of ancient sci-fi. Perfect for fans of high-stakes action, supernatural destiny, and coming-of-age epics.
