The Spokane community is invited to join local author, Bitty Balducci, for the launch of her new young adult sci-fi novel – Nascent.

Nascent is the first book in The Clockwise Chronicles trilogy set in a dystopian, near future world. Amid global unrest that shrank global population to a fraction of what it once was, a revolutionary company – Dream Corp – rose from the ashes and changed world order as anyone knew it. The product at the center of The Clockwise Revolution? Time. A team of skilled scientists commercialized sleep banking, the process by which one extracts the restorative properties of another’s sleep. Nascent follows the story of a young woman, Juniper Griffith, who was born and raised in Dream Corp Onyx, one of twenty-four Dream Corp units scattered across the globe. Juniper’s world is turned upside down when she received an anonymous message that causes her to question the nature of her reality. Together with her best friend, Chaz, she embarks on a dangerous and uncertain journey to uncover the truth about Dream Corp. What she discovers is more dire and unfathomable than she could have ever imagined.
