Something wonderful is coming to the universe - and to Earth. Peter Elliott, just thirteen, is one of the few who know about it, for he moves in two worlds: the Earth plane and the dream world. For as long as he can remember, he has had the ability to enter other worlds in his dreams, but he has never understood why. Now the Elders have given him his mission: to find the Wand of Alithea. But dark forces, too, are in search of the Wand and, as Peter and his friends begin to unravel the mystery of the ancient prophecies, sinister eyes are watching them, eyes that have searched long and hard since the fall of the civilisation of Alithea millennia ago. Now Peter is the Awakener. Now he must find the Wand. For the Wave that the prophets foretold is coming, and humanity is about to change for ever.
