Tara folded and unfolded the pink referral slip. Her fingers made sweat marks on the paper. "I can't be pregnant. I haven't had sex."

Lisa M. Lilly's heart pounding supernatural thriller, The Awakening, tells the story of one young woman who finds her life at risk over a phenomenon she cannot understand.

Tara is at a loss. She recently learned she's pregnant, despite never having had sex. Her fiancé breaks up with her, convinced she cheated on him, and even her parents and best friend doubt her story.

But when Cyril, a member of The Brotherhood religious order, claims to believe that Tara is still a virgin, she believes she has finally found understanding.

The Brotherhood sees Tara's child as a possible new messiah—that is, until prenatal testing reveals a disturbing truth.

As the Brotherhood turns on her and the forces aligned against her close in, Tara fights for her life and seeks a safe place to give birth.

But who is her friend and who is her enemy?
