<p>ANNA O WILL WAKE UP THE WORLD</p>

<p>What if your nightmares weren’t really nightmares at all?</p>

<p>We spend an average of 33 years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we sleep?</p>

<p>Anna Ogilvy was a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabbed two people to death with no apparent motive—and hasn’t woken up since. Dubbed “Sleeping Beauty” by the tabloids, Anna’s condition is a rare psychosomatic disorder known to neurologists as “resignation syndrome.”</p>

<p>Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. His methods are the last hope of solving the infamous “Anna O’”case and waking Anna up so she can stand trial. But he must be careful treating such a high-profile suspect—he’s got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own.</p>

<p>As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict must determine what really happened and whether Anna should be held responsible for her crimes.</p>

<p>Only Anna knows the truth about that night, but only Benedict knows how to discover it. And they’re both in danger from what they find out.</p>
