From the back of the book:
We’ve been doing our best to figure out why so many Sleepers are Awakening, but I think we’re starting to run out of time. People start asking questions when their best friend suddenly takes off into the woods, screaming about the Truth and the Lie. The Mastigos have had an easy enough time tracking witnesses down and making sure they haven’t drawn any unfortunate conclusions, but it’s only a matter of time until someone slips through.
All we know is that none of the newly Awakened share anything in common, except for the handful more similar in age than the others. They don’t live in the same neighborhoods, they don’t go to the same schools, they don’t even shop at the same stores. There’s something familiar about the faces of the mages who recently Awakened, but I can’t for the life of me remember why.
