The future didn’t arrive suddenly.
It arrived quietly — in the form of “safety,” “efficiency,” and “progress.”
Within a few years the world became a maze of fifteen-minute cities, biometric checkpoints, cashless zones, and “child welfare protocols” that decide which families are compliant… and which children belong to the state.
Ola and Paweł live far beyond this system, deep in the forest, raising their five-year-old son in the last place untouched by total surveillance.
But their child is not ordinary.
Krzyś carries a rare and ancient ability — one the system has been hunting for centuries.
He is the only person capable of unlocking the true code hidden inside the quatrains of Nostradamus.
Not the verses the world knows.
The encrypted layer beneath them: a map of the future, a warning for humanity, and a blueprint for how freedom can be reclaimed.
As Krzyś begins to decode fragments of the prophecy, Ola and Paweł uncover pieces of an old device — brass components resembling an astrolabe — the key required to read Nostradamus’s message in full.
A message that describes the moment of collapse for any regime built on surveillance, obedience, and controlled fear.
But the system senses the awakening.
Drones sweep the forests.
Cities lock down without warning.
Facial-scan barriers tighten.
Entire neighbourhoods disappear during “infrastructure tests.”
And the state intensifies its efforts to seize children who show signs of independent thought.
When Krzyś finally deciphers the Zero Point — the location where the prophecy converges — Ola and Paweł realize they can no longer hide.
What they do next will ignite a chain reaction neither the system nor its architects are prepared for.
A community rises.
A city revolts.
And a nation awakens.
Manifest of Awakening is a fierce, visionary dystopian thriller about control, prophecy, rebellion, and the child who holds the last key to humanity’s freedom.
Perfect for readers of 1984, Brave New World, The Handmaid’s Tale, Children of Men, conspiracy thrillers, and metaphysical fiction about the world that is already taking shape.
