THE WORLD WILL KNOW HER NAME

What if your nightmares weren't really nightmares at all?

We spend an average of thirty-three years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we are sleeping?

Anna Ogilvy is a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabs two people to death in her sleep and never wakes up. Anna, now dubbed "Sleeping Beauty" by the tabloids, has a rare psychosomatic disorder known as resignation syndrome.

Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. To solve the case, he must wake up Anna so she can stand trial. But he has to be careful. Anna's a high-profile suspect—and he's got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own.

As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict must determine what really happened and whether she should be held responsible for her crimes. Only Anna knows the truth about that night, and only Benedict knows how to discover it. But what they find out may put them both in grave danger.
