Анна Шихан – лучшие книги

Много лет назад юная Розалинда Фитцрой по воле родителей была помещена в специальную капсулу и погружена в искусственный сон. За это время человечество пережило множество войн, эпидемий и смутные времена, которые унесли жизни миллионов людей и изменили мир до неузнаваемости. После пробуждения 16-летняя Роуз узнает, что ее родители умерли, человек, которого она любила, пропал бесследно, а сама она является наследницей огромной империи. Роуз отчаянно пытается смириться с потерями и начать новую жизнь в непонятном для нее мире далекого будущего. Но мир не готов принять слишком странную и совсем неприспособленную к нему девушку. Прошлое не отпускает, и Роуз ничего не остается, кроме как встретиться лицом к лицу с его призраками и узнать о предательстве, которое изменило ее жизнь.

It should have been a short suspended-animation sleep. But this time Rose wakes up to find her past is long gone-- and her future full of peril.

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 subbasement, 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 gone, 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.

Rose spent most of her life asleep. Otto spent his as an object.

Rose Fitzroy woke from her long sleep to a changed world and new life. Her friend Otto watched her from afar, longing for what he felt he couldn't have. But just when things seem to be going right, his own biology backfires, sending him into a deathly spiral that neither of them can stop. His only hope lies on the distant ice moon of Europa, where an experimental treatment might bring him back from the brink.

But Europa is in a state of revolution, and Otto's brother Quin is tangled up in it. With Otto going slowly insane, and Rose haunted by ghosts of her old life, more than one world may soon be destroyed around them.
