The Whispering Sword

For as long as he could remember, sixteen-year-old Andy has dreamed of living in the Awakened city of Cryto.

There, he could escape poverty, get out of his miserable town, and maybe even discover who his real parents are.  

But only the Awoken – people with powerful abilities shaped by their personality – are welcomed in.

After failing the Awakening Ceremony, Andy believes his chances of becoming an Awoken are gone.  

Then he hears them.

Whispers – whispers only he can hear. 

At the top of an abandoned watch tower, Andy discovers their source: a wonderous white sword. Not only does the sword show Andy memories of a mysterious Awoken long since past, it reveals him as the most powerful Awoken of all – a Guardian. 

Thrusted into a world with dangerous creatures, massive cities, floating rivers, and the first girl that’s ever liked him, Andy feels his life has finally made a turn for the better. Until the Reapers – a futuristic enemy responsible for ending the Guardians – re-emerge. 

The Reapers only need one thing to finally rule over the Awoken: blood of a Guardian.

Blood that would let them breathe the land’s toxic air and stop them from slowly dying – and Andy is the only one that can give it to them. With the Reapers destroying more cities every day, Andy must quickly learn to use his newfound powers to stop them. 

If he confronts the Reapers before he’s ready, they may live forever. If he waits too long, there might not be a world left to save. 

​

With only whispers guiding him, the right decision is anything but clear...
