About this book:

In the sprawling neon labyrinth of Neo-Veridia, Mara Lowell deals in memories, surgically shaping and subtracting moments from people's lives. When a mysterious, cloaked client arrives seeking to erase a seemingly "mundane observation," Mara finds herself drawn into a web of conspiracy far deadlier than she could have imagined. This isn't about trauma; it's about a chilling cover-up involving experimental neuro-technology, a missing neuro-scientist, and a powerful corporation known as Chronos Corp, who are not just erasing minds, but rewriting them.

As Mara delves deeper, she uncovers a terrifying truth: the Architects, Chronos Corp's shadowy black ops division, are using Dr. Aris Thorne's cutting-edge research to implant, alter, and control entire consciousnesses. Their ultimate goal? A collective consciousness, a "Dreaming City" where all minds are unified and compliant. And Mara's own fragmented past, and a sister she never knew she had, might be the key to their horrifying project. Hunted by ruthless agents who can track her through her own memories, Mara must race against time to find Thorne's "master key" - a counter-frequency capable of unraveling the Architects' insidious control.

From the dark alleys of the city's underbelly to the heart of Chronos Corp's towering fortress and the digital expanse of the Dreaming City, Mara confronts betrayal, sacrifice, and the terrifying possibility that her own mind has been manipulated for decades. Armed with fragmented truths and the courage of newfound allies, she must unleash a force capable of shattering their manufactured reality, even if it means facing the devastating cost of collective remembering. Can the memory dealer become the architect of truth before the city is forever lost in a single, controlled dream?
