Awakening

Something is speaking through the stones of Istanbul.

On a night that will later be called the beginning of everything, a new kind of light blooms along the Bosphorus: crystalline, patient, and impossibly aware. For Anitta, a translator who has spent her life moving meaning between tongues, the first pulse arrives not as a sound but as a sentence she almost understands. For Reha, it is a chord his body already knows. For Onur, it is a rhythm his grid begins to sync against before his mind catches up.

Awakening is the story of the twelve hours in which a city, and the people who thought they knew it, begin to translate themselves.

Literary science fiction translated from the Turkish. Volume One of Breath of Darkness.
