After
sleeping for a hundred years, Charlotte Winston is awoken by a Prince.
Well,
not an actual prince, but a very handsome Dash Darhk. An unknown biologically-altering mist struck
the Earth over a hundred years ago, and all humans fell into a deep sleep. Some have been awake for a year, some for
longer.
Dash
leads Charlotte towards other settlers and survivors, explaining various
changes to the environment and ecosystems.
A witty and resourceful hunter, Dash agrees to help Charlotte find her
parents and sister, as he is searching for his family as well.
‘Slumber’
is post-apocalyptic YA fun. The book is
narrated entirely by Charlotte, with dialog ranging between exploration of an altered
Earth, attempts at understanding the magic-like abilities she now possesses,
and fighting the attraction she and Dash so clearly feel towards each other.
‘Slumber’
will be available on January 10, 2017.
