About this audiobook
A brutal kick to the head shatters sixteen-year-old Stephen's reality, flooding him with memories of a dying old man and a forgotten cosmic war. He discovers his world is a prison, his abusive father a mask for the god who built it, and his friends are being systematically erased from existence.
Haunted by visions of his own countless deaths, Stephen must trust a mysterious journal that writes itself and a girl who might be a demon sent to destroy him. To break the cycle of torment, he must reclaim a name he doesn't remember, and confront the divine jailer in a battle that could unmake reality itself.
In a universe where love is a liability and memory is a weapon, Stephen's only path to freedom may be through a sacrifice that will leave nothing behind but the echo of his choices.
