Evelyn Folksman has partnered with the enemy.

Desperate to save her friends, she has reluctantly agreed to travel with former Commune Commander, Jonah Sulemon, to his home islands where he has promised a weapon that will allow them to take down the Commune once and for all. To succeed, both Evelyn and Jonah must face the trauma of their pasts and learn to trust one another.

Meanwhile, Raif Huntsman is searching for his sister, Rose, who holds incredible and dangerous powers. Alongside rebel Hector Haralambous, he travels to Nook Town, where they hope to find Rose, and to stop her powers being abused by those who kidnapped her … but where they will encounter a regime just as oppressive—and perhaps even as deadly—as the Commune’s.

Lovers become enemies, enemies become allies, and all will be tested to their limits in this second instalment in The Commune’s Curse series.

Praise for Awakening (The Commune’s Curse: Book 1):

"I was struck by McLaren's exquisite prose [and] the fast pace of her story...[Awakening] completely captivated me from the start: move this book to the top of your TBR pile, it's an absolute stunner!" --Cindy van Wilder Zanetti, author of The Trespassers series

"Tight and fascinating world-building that will delight fantasy fans, coupled with clear-eyed portraits of trauma in its characters that raise it above the usual standard." - Daniel M. Ford, best-selling author of The Paladin trilogy and The Warden series
