About Awakening by Jacob Callcut
In the near future, the course of humanity is driven by the Matters family and their monopoly over the Solar System’s natural resources. For an impoverished teen, the course of her life is driven by the granddaughter of the Matters’ patriarch and her monopoly over their mutual high school.
Then one day the teen discovers an out-of-this-world secret about herself that could shatter not only her nemesis’ influence, but the entire Matters’ stranglehold, only to have her memories erased. Four years later, she’s a young woman struggling to recall her own past as she helps a couple escape The Facility, a secret paramilitary training camp. To save the couple, she must forsake all she knows to be right and proper to rediscover her truth. How far will she go in order to make sense of the voices in her head? Why are her senses more acute than any human’s should be? Who are The Sisters and their relation to her? What, even, is her real name?
As she seeks out the answers to these questions, she uncovers a family dynamic deeper than she could have ever imagined, one full of secrets and deceit–and some pleasant surprises–that unknowingly domineered the person she is and ultimately unlock the person she’d never have anticipated she becomes.
