"The whole 'I hate myself' is an understatement. I wholeheartedly know that I do, but when you're surrounded by the people who believe in you and see your potential, you ought to feel like they're angels directing you somewhere out of your hellhole." Seventeen year old Cheyanne Grace Leighton has been changing for the better despite her constant struggle of avoiding her obscure tragic past that happened five years ago. There comes a point where she needs a little fun kick in her life, distractions if you will, but meeting this new guy in town has not made it possible. He hates her-like she can't do that on her own already. She wants to steer clear from him, but he likes to enlighten himself. Let's face it: facades don't last very long and without the love, you don't live.

It's the real world, but it isn't. Secrets and dangers lurk below the surface - as well as slavers, strange creatures and a shifting wasteland where humans were once gods. You just need to open your eyes to see past the illusion. You just need to wake up. Meet Anna - a 21 year old cardigan-wearing English major - whose world falls apart when she stumbles home slightly drunk and sees a man dissolve into thin air. From there, hijinks ensue - as hot baristas, Hierarchs, slavers and acid rain make sure to severely disrupt the last year of her degree. She's uncovered a dangerous new world - but soon realises that the truest danger is inside her own skin. *** Jake gazed at me with his pale green eyes and reclined backwards onto his elbows. I realised that the metal on his hands continued up his forearms under his long-sleeved shirt. It was as if his skin had been stripped away, revealing nothing but a machine underneath. “You are a Waker. So am I. And we’re in the unworld right now. Welcome.” He grinned at me without any humour. “We’re in the middle of a war, and you and me are the soldiers on the front line.” For a few long moments I couldn’t speak. Then I cleared my throat and said, “You and I.” *** Follow her journals, music and thoughts as she realises that it isn't real.
