She escaped a dying Earth for a dream. She woke up to a nightmare
The deal was simple. Close her eyes on a decaying Earth and open them on the lush horizons of Persephone. Twenty-two years in hypersleep was a small price to pay for a future.
Wrenched out of cryo by a catastrophic malfunction, Lissa finds herself trapped in the cold metal corridors of a ship that feels more like a tomb. The 'eccentric' crew doesn't greet her with open arms. Instead, she's met with indifference and a Captain with a grudge.
Lissa is also suffering from amnesia. Her childhood, her name, and her reason for leaving don't make any rational sense. Is there a deeper mystery, or is she losing her mind to Hypersleep Paranoia?
In the empty void of deep space, the truth is more dangerous than the vacuum outside. Trapped with a crew of strangers and memories that aren't her own, Lissa must find the answer to one question before it's too late...
Who did they wake up?
