Seven teenagers. Seven chakras. Seven
keys to save humanity.
In 2035, fifteen-year-old Rae, an orphan, has chosen silence. Or perhaps
silence has chosen her. After the sudden death of her father, she has lost her
ability to speak.
But that is the least of her problems. An elusive genius known as the Keeper
has created an advanced AI program—Spirit Era—that predicts the world will end
in two years without massive human intervention. The solution? Seven teenage
volunteers who must work together to prevent this doomsday. Despite her
reluctance to apply, Rae is selected, along with six other teens from the four
corners of the world, to save humanity.
Spirit Era has designed seven Mantras, virtual reality worlds revealing the
seven most likely apocalyptic disasters. Within these Mantras are concealed
seven keys that will unlock humanity’s potential to stand in the way of
planetary destruction and fight for the future of the world. The seven chosen
ones—quiet Rae, hotheaded Chayton, sensual Helen, quick-witted Ali, gentle
Keiji, intense Alpha, and reserved Stepan—must journey into these worlds to
find the keys.
Root, the first book in this gripping saga, follows the seven into a
hyperrealistic simulation of the not-too-distant future, where the rich have
seized control of the world’s resources following a global famine triggered by
a devastating loss of biodiversity. In order to escape this possible future,
the seven must join together and use all their powers to find the key—and
survive the simulation.
Two years left until the end of the world. The countdown begins . . .
About Aurélie Benattar:
Aurélie
Benattar was
born in Casablanca, Morocco, in 1971. In her childhood and teenage years, she
spent most of her time reading, listening to music, dancing, and acting. After
a few years in Paris she moved to Cannes, where she earned an undergraduate
degree in psychology and a degree in pediatric nursing. Early on, she
questioned the connection between body, spirit, and soul. This drove her to
take several courses on spirituality and alternative medicine. Her first
novel Un corbeau au 36 won the crime Femme Actuelle award and
was the ‘hearthrob’ of the chairwoman, Eliette Abecassis (Inaugural Authors
2013, Pocket 2014). Today she writes full time and lives in Israel. Fascinated
by fictional worlds, she loves to bridge the gap between the real and the
imaginary to let readers explore unbeaten paths and reconsider our way of life.
