"Joy Mayfield is pulled from a disquieting sleep, only to discover she has entered a waking nightmare. Having no idea where she is, how she got there or whose clothes she's wearing, within minutes she's attacked by one assailant and shortly after two others. But, Joy will soon discover she is on a mission to save a gifted child seeded with strange and wondrous abilities; a child who will begin the process of awakening the sleepers and assisting in the transformation of humankind to its next level of sentience."
