In the city of Eloria, memories aren't sacred-they're for sale. The rich buy joy in crystal vials, the poor sell their pasts to survive, and Nara has woken to find seven years of her life stolen. Her only clue? The face of a stranger who knows her name... and every secret she's forgotten.
As Nara dives into the dangerous underworld of the Memory Market, she's hunted by Collectors, betrayed by allies, and drawn to the man she can't remember loving. But with every memory she recovers, one question burns brighter: was she ever the hero of her own story-or the villain?
