About this book

Summary

In a world rebuilt from ruin, memory is the enemy. After the environmental Collapse, the Ministry of Balance rewrote human history — and the minds that carried it. Every citizen lives under the Memory Control Protocol, where implants edit thoughts for “emotional stability.” Forgetting is survival. Remembering is rebellion. Lira, a reclamation worker in the lower districts, spends her days erasing the remnants of the past — old photographs, corrupted drives, fragments of truth. Until the day she finds a picture the scanners can’t erase: a woman, a child, and a sky the color of copper. Hidden inside the image lies a map — one that leads her to Kael, a former government operative who helps the forgotten remember what the Ministry has buried.
