Spirals

The sequel to the critically acclaimed novel AWAKE

They escaped the simulation.
They defied the loop.
But the truth was never meant to be found.

Chaya, Jian, Omar, and Khalid have emerged from the constructed biosphere into a reality even stranger than the one they left behind. The world beyond is vast, ancient—and listening. Every step forward uncovers echoes of the past they were forced to forget, and whispers of an alien intelligence that may have shaped not just their lives… but all of humanity.

As the Spiral Worlds reveal their secrets, the four must navigate shifting timelines, haunting memories, and the terrifying possibility that they were never truly free. The spirals are not just patterns—they are blueprints, prisons, and promises.

In a place where memory can be rewritten and reality bends to thought, what does it mean to be real?

The journey continues.
The spirals awaken.
And the story you thought you knew is only the beginning.
