It's Burgundy, 1808. One night Sobran Jodeau, a young vintner, meets an angel in his vineyard: a physically gorgeous creature with huge wings that smell of snow, a sense of humour and an inquiring mind. They meet again every year on the midsummer anniversary of the date.

First comes catastrophe. Then comes survival. Atmospheric, gripping, Wake is a chilling tale of horror and survival, by New Zealand's preeminent authors: a compelling story about how people cope when threatened by an invisible monster.
