In this companion to Those That Wake, Mal and Laura are still searching for home, identity, and answers, even after having found what they thought they were seeking in the first book. As they fight to survive, they also fight to save humanity from the power-hungry Old Man. A futuristic, technologically-wary setup pairs with a dreamy, romantic sensibility about fate and love.

After "Big Black," a mysterious event "some years back" that temporarily plunged New York City into darkness, society became even higher tech and people became increasingly alienated. Now the existences of teens Mal and Laura have been erased from people's memories. Together they attempt to reclaim their pasts and destroy a technology that has taken on sinister goals. The story's intriguing premise is well played out.
