In a world where pain can be erased, truth has become the most dangerous thing of all.Seventeen-year-old Kieran Vale is an anomaly. In a society perfected by Eidolon—a corporation that promises a life of peace through memory extraction—Kieran has never undergone the procedure. He is one of the few who still carries the weight of his past. But when his own mother looks at him with the vacant eyes of a stranger, Kieran realizes that something far worse than forgetting is already happening.Then, he finds the shard.It’s a fragment of a memory that doesn't belong to him. In it, he sees a burning city, hears the echoes of screaming voices, and sees himself—standing at the center of a catastrophe he doesn’t remember causing.Before he can make sense of the vision, they come for him.Hunted by entities that shouldn't exist and pulled into a hidden reality beneath the surface of his own, Kieran uncovers a truth that shatters his world: his mind doesn’t just hold his own memories.It holds *all* of them.Kieran is a living archive of every life erased, rewritten, and buried by Eidolon. But the deeper he dives into the collective consciousness, the more his own identity begins to fracture. He wasn’t just a victim of the system; he was the final product of it.As the line between his own soul and the millions of voices inside him begins to blur, Kieran is faced with an impossible choice:Restore the world’s truth and unleash a tidal wave of suppressed agony...Or let humanity live in a peaceful lie—at the cost of the boy he used to be.Because some truths don't just change the world.They destroy it.
