Rosalinda Fitzroy has been asleep for sixty-two years when she is woken by a kiss. Locked away in the chemically-induced slumber of a stasis tube in a forgotten sub-basement, sixteen-year-old Rose slept straight through the Dark Times that killed millions and utterly changed the world she knew.

Now, her parents and her first love are long dead, and Rose hailed upon her awakening as the long-lost heir to an interplanetary empire is thrust alone into a future in which she is viewed as either a freak or a threat. Desperate to put the past behind her and adapt to her new world, Rose finds herself drawn to the boy who kissed her awake, hoping that he can help her to start fresh. But when a deadly danger jeopardizes her fragile new existence, Rose must face the ghosts of her past with open eyes or be left without any future at all.

Absolutely mesmerizing!

I've never been so surprised by a book before. I read it in 3 hours. I couldn't put it down. I'm completely flabbergasted. It was one of the greatest books I've read in years. The beggining was a bit confusing, but then everything got so much better! Such unexpected turn-outs, such great development of characters, such creativity, so much emotion... I'm still crying because of the unfairness. But it was a great ending. The 100 year-old in a 16 year old body was finally able to grow up.
