**This is the second edition of the bestselling novel—formerly titled The Awakened: Book One—featuring new chapters, updated maps, and additional reference material.**

THE HISTORY: Over five thousand years ago, a renegade faction of angels abandoned the spiritual realm and began their inhabitation of earth. Worshiped as gods for their wisdom and power, they corrupted the realm of the physical and forever altered the course of history.

THE PROPHECY: Amidst the chaos of a dying world, a lone voice foretold the awakening of a human warrior who would bring an end to this evil perpetrated against all of creation.

THE PROPHECY: Amidst the chaos of a dying world, a lone voice foretold the awakening of a human warrior who would bring an end to this evil perpetrated against all of creation. But with the cataclysmic destruction of earth and rebirth of humanity, the prophecy went unfulfilled and faded from the memory of our kind—until now!

THE AWAKENED: The physical dimension is fractured. What remain now are numerous fragmented worlds moving simultaneously through time, sharing a common history, connected only by a guarded portal. On a parallel earth, in the city of Bastul, Colonel Adair Lorus disappears while investigating the death of an informant, triggering a series of events which will tear his family apart and set in motion the resolution of an ancient struggle. Kael, sentenced to death after rising up against the cruel leadership of his new step-father, is rescued from prison and trained in the arts of war by a mystical order of clerics. Excelling in every aspect of his training, Kael inwardly struggles to give himself fully to the methods of his new family, or the god they worship. Maeryn, bitter over the disappearance of her husband and supposed execution of her son, fears for her life at the hands of her newly appointed husband. Finding comfort and purpose in her unborn child, she determines to undermine his authority by reaching out to an underground social movement known as the Resistance. After being forced from his home, Kael’s former mentor, Saba, uncovers a clue to Adair’s disappearance. Sensing a connection to his own forgotten past, Saba begins an investigation which leads to the discovery of a secret military organization operating within the Orudan Empire.

In book one of his bestselling debut series, Jason Tesar launches an epic saga that will journey from earth’s mythological past to its post-apocalyptic future, blending the genres of fantasy, sci-fi, and military/political suspense.

OMG. First off I had a hard time putting this ebook down . This was such a good read , very cohesive with the many different story lines. Your ending made me verbally cry out NOOOOO!! It being 2 AM at the time , my boyfriend was not too happy, I desperately kept turning pages in case there was a mistake and I had inadvertently skipped to the end. You bad bad man!! I am hooked on this book. And need to read more. So clever. Talk about a cliff hanger...Must. Read. More.....
Bring on Book two !!!!!

Jason Tesar writes a very creative story line that definitely kept me guessing and not wanting to put The Awakened: Book One down. He shows skill in dividing the story into credible story lines following the characters. I can't say I always appreciated being kept hanging, waiting to see what would happen. I can say I did not lose interest and felt compelled to keep reading to learn how it would all work out. I was drawn into each characters persona and eagerly read on to see how the constant twists and surprises would propel the character into more action. I look forward to continuing the series; I have so many unanswered questions...

Review by: William Ellin on June 14, 2011 :
Pretty good story,rich characters and intricate plotting. Only complaint is that I still haven't figured out what the first few chapters have to do with the rest of the story. I am sure it will be revealed later on, but right now it's a bit frustrating, not knowing the why. The rest of the story bounces back and forth between the remaining characters, yet nothing is revealed of Adair's fate.

Nonetheless, I recommend this book. It's been a fun journey so far.
