English Summary/英文概要： ARCHETYPE is set in a futuristic world where women have become a rare commodity, a world where one woman, Emma, must fight for her freedom while being held captive by the love of two men—one her husband and the other her worst enemy. The only problem is she can’t remember which man is which. A cross between BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP by S.J. Watson and TOTAL RECALL by Piers Anthony that channels Margaret Atwood’s THE HANDMAID’S TALE, ARCHETYPE combines a stellar narrative voice with twists and turns, thrilling action, covert warfare, and a breathtaking love story.

When Emma wakes from a terrible accident, she remembers nothing of her past and must rely on her highly successful husband, Declan, to tell her what happened, who she is, who he is. But her nightmares contradict everything he says, showing her a world she can’t believe possible: war, growing up in a camp where girls are trained to be wives, and worse, floating in a tank of water she can’t escape.

Determined not to let these nightmares affect her future, Emma lets Declan mold her into a happily married woman, and she even begins to fall in love with him. But the lines between reality and dreams blur when she finds herself accused of being a traitor to a resistance she knows nothing about outside of her nightmares. Worse, she is drawn to another man, a man from her dreams, in a way that should be reserved for her husband alone.

As Emma struggles to figure out who she really is, not only must she choose a side in an unknown war, she must also decide between the two men she loves.

ARCHETYPE is a story you can’t stop reading until the mindbending ending...and then you just want more.

Praise for Archetype:

“M.D. Waters has given us that rare and wonderful action heroine who possesses both nerve and emotional depth. That rich characterization combined with an intricately crafted sci-fi mystery made Archetype anenthralling debut that I couldn’t put down.” --Richelle Mead, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Vampire Academy series

“Outstanding! While reminding me of Marge Piercy, George Orwell and Margaret Atwood, this book takes off on its own from the very beginning. The stuttered opening eyes of Emma reveal a world that halts and trembles with life, only to later turn inside out...The holographic texture of this story is absorbing and peels away at dystopia—creating something else entirely. M.D. Waters is her own cup of tea that I can’t see anyone putting down...I was floored and want the second one ASAP!” --Emily Wilson, City Lights Bookstore, Sylva, NC

"I finished the book this weekend. To explain how entranced I was, I was on the coast with my husband. He was flying a kite, the beach was lovely, dogs were romping, children were squealing, etc etc etc. But me? I was sitting on chunk of driftwood, reading as rapidly as I could. Beach? What beach? I was in another world. (And the ending!?!)" --Marilyn Dahl, Editor, Shelf Awareness

“A dazzling debut, a very sharp book. It has such a dignified air to it, a beautiful poignancy in the writing. But the beauty is a skin deep mask threatening to expose itself at any moment. Beneath the surface is a haunting, corrosive tension that eats the reader alive. It makes the reader nauseous in the best possible way. This is one of those books that seeps into your consciousness. It breeds discontent...This book...this book...There are no more words for this book.” --Krys Tourtois, Schuler Books and Music, Lansing, MI

“Archetype begins like a really good roller coaster: the beginning, where we meet our heroine, Emma, feels like the anticipation of going up the really steep incline. Click, click, click. You don’t really know what to expect, and you can’t see what is coming. Then you hit a peak and you are off and you had better hang on for the ride. Although I am not usually a fan of "science fiction", I enjoy a good story and with a book this good, it’s easy to forget about genre and be transported...This is one of those unforgettable, breathless books you want all your friends to read.” --Kym Havens, Wellesley Books, Wellesley, MA
