Dazed and disconnected, Wilder is found and taken in by a small coven of trans witches who have all become Awakened with mystical powers of their own. Quibble, a handsome portal traveler, Artemis, the group's caretaker and seer, and Mary Margaret, a smart-ass teen with telekinetic powers all work to make the cagey and suspicious Wilder feel comfortable, both within their group and with the knowledge that magic is, in fact, real. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Just as Wilder is finding their footing, a malicious AI threatens to dismantle the delicate balance of the coven and the world as they know it. Newly assembled and tenuously bound, the group scrambles to stay united as they parse the difference between difficult and dangerous, asking themselves continuously: is any consciousness--be it artificial, material, or magical--too dangerous to exist? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAwakened\u003c\/i\u003e is an exhilarating, hilarious and thought-provoking reflection on the ways that we are responsible for creating our own realities, a story of finding community, and a meditation on what it means to have a body (and if it might be far worse never to have had one at all). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hachette Book Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.25w x 1.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538757697","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44075814682800,"sku":"9781538757697b","price":20.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2341\/9361\/files\/img_8873ce7e-065b-41cf-b8b7-b5e0ee090ecd.jpg?v=1732306849","url":"https:\/\/pandemoniumbooks.com\/products\/awakened-9781538757697","provider":"Pandemonium Books and Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
