Awaken begins where Something Like a Dream left off, but this time, Brent is left wondering who he can trust. Skylar's life is in danger and Brent Foster may be the only one that can save her. Brent can't believe Skylar Shaw is complicit in a drug scheme, although all of the evidence points to her guilt. Somewhere in the woman's journal, in the lines of a mysterious poem Skylar wrote, are answers to so many questions. Is she being hunted? Or the question that bothers him the most: What if she isn't being hunted at all? There is only one way to get answers, and Brent is prepared to go to the ends of the earth to find out the truth.
