About the Book #

What if you woke up and discovered something essential to your life had vanished—not just physically, but from everyone’s memory except your own?

Claire Holloway’s dream cruise vacation becomes a waking nightmare after she suffers a fall. When she regains consciousness, her reality has been fundamentally altered. There’s no trace of what she knows should be there. No records. No photos on her phone. According to everyone on board, what Claire remembers never existed.

As the vast ocean surrounds her, Claire finds herself isolated in a different way—fighting to prove her truth while questioning her own sanity. With each dead end and dismissal, the walls close in tighter. Is her mind playing cruel tricks, or is something far more sinister at work?

The only person who begins to believe her is security officer Daniel Jackson, a man with his own secrets. Together, they navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the massive cruise ship, where luxury and darkness coexist, and where the truth seems deliberately obscured by forces neither of them fully understand.

“The Wake” will have you questioning reality alongside its protagonist, double-checking your own memories, and perhaps thinking twice before your next vacation at sea.
