The Awakening (Darkest Powers, 2)

You don't have to be alive to be awakened.Chloe Saunders is a living science experiment—not only can she see ghosts, but she was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. She's a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control, which means she can raise the dead without even trying. Now Chloe's running for her life with three of her supernatural friends—a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—and they have to find someone who can help them before the Edison Group catches them. Or die trying.

Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

“A page-turner. Readers will anticipate the book to follow.”

ALA Booklist

“Armstrong has some fun toying with supernatural teen thriller conventions, and the taut pacing should please fans of the exploding genre.”

About the Author

That story began with the New York Times bestselling Sea of Shadows and continues with Empire of Night.Armstrong's first works for teens were the New York Times bestselling Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising trilogies. She lives in rural Ontario with her husband, three children, and far too many pets.
