Awakened

by David Matthiesen

Maxwell Cain was just your average, fifteen-year-old, high school misfit. Then one day, he wakes up and realizes ten years of his life have gone missing...and he is now a businessman worth billions. Now, on the run from people trying to kill him, Max is quickly found by a man who calls himself a tracker. This tracker tells him crazy, impossible stories of powerful magic and evil tyrants determined to control the world. If that’s not enough, he tells Max it has been prophesied that he will play a part in it all. Max will travel on a daring rescue mission, all the while, attempting to control his abilities... and save the world. If he can’t, he will succumb to his powers and become the evil tyrant he was predestined to be.

About the author

In May, 2012, I had an idea in my head that would not go away. After trying to go to sleep for hours, I finally gave up and decided to write everything down - hopefully to clear my mind. Eventually, I had twenty pages of a rough outline and I realized I had the potential for a book. I have never written a single manuscript in my entire life, so this was definitely a new challenge for me. Two months later, and a little help from some friends, I had a completed book. Awakened: The Story of Maxwell Cain.
