Publisher Marketing: Awaken from the Darkness is a fast-paced suspense thriller that will keep you guessing with each turn of the page. Seventeen-year-old Mitch Blais is entering his senior year of high school with the hopes of joining the marines to avenge the death of his father who served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His enthusiasm for revenge against his sworn enemies is only equaled by his inability to control his impulses and stay out of trouble. When his probation officer ends up murdered, the authorities immediately point the finger at him. Mitch finds himself awaiting his murder trial at Sherman Point Rehabilitation Center where things are not always as they seem. Before he can prove his innocence, he must first face the painful reality of his own prejudice toward Muslim-Americans that has plagued him since his father's death. It isn't until the girl he loves, Cassandra, mysteriously disappears from Sherman Point that Mitch realizes there is more to life than he previously thought. With the help of his autistic roommate and an unlikely cast of new friends, Mitch sets out to save Cassandra before it is too late only to find that he is entangled in a dangerous web of murder and deception. The lessons he learns along the way could change his life forever-if he can survive!
