Gavin has been asleep for three hundred forty-one years, and has been kept alive by a miracle of science, the Lazarus Tube. Aspyn has been watching and taking care of him for seventeen years. Aspyn is the only niece of the leader of her compound, Isaac Clark, and therefore, the quiet girl has been thrust into the spotlight her entire life. She has been hidden from the dangers and evils that lie within her home, until Gavin brings them to her attention once he is awake. Aspyn has a choice, to continue on with her life or go with Gavin and try to stand up and do the right thing. The only thing standing in her way of doing the right thing is everything she has ever known, her family, her friends, and her home.
