The Awakened Light: They Know I Can See Them

An awakened soul is like a brilliant light in the middle of a pitch-black night-a light they desperately want to swarm, play with, and completely extinguish.

For twenty-one-year-old Lucas, reality is a fractured nightmare. Ever since childhood, he has been forced to look past the veil of the living into a world crawling with hidden monstrosities. From shark-toothed entities hiding in the dirt to weeping spirits that mimic his own voice to lure his family into the dark, Lucas has learned the hard way that ignoring the dead only makes them angry.

But the true curse evolves when the glitches begin.

Whenever Lucas looks at certain people, his vision loses its color, revealing a horrifying blueprint of their impending doom-a pristine coffin and a cold, silent countdown to their exact expiration date. Forced to carry the dark secrets of life and death entirely alone, Lucas believes his awareness is his only shield.

He is dead wrong.

When a towering, pitch-black manifestation of pure malice targets him, Lucas realizes a bone-chilling truth: having the sight provides absolutely no protection. Just because you can see them doesn't mean you are safe from them. They know he is awake. They know he can see them. And now, one by one, they are coming to claim his soul.
