Faultline Girl

In a world where every person is assigned a role at birth and every life is measured by a number floating above their head, Elin Venn has always been nothing more than an extra. For sixteen years, she has lived unseen by the system--unassigned, overlooked, and expected to simply exist without purpose.

Until the day everything changes.

When Elin is unexpectedly assigned to become a Marer--one of the rare workers tasked with capturing and containing nightmares before they reach sleeping minds--she is finally given something she has never had before: a role. A place. A reason.

But the system does not give gifts without cost.

As her world begins to fracture and strange glitches appear in both dreams and reality, Elin is assigned a case that is far too personal: a life she is supposed to protect begins to decay faster than the system can explain. And for the first time, she is not just observing the rules of her world... she is fighting against them.

Because saving this life might mean uncovering the truth the system has buried for generations.

And Elin Venn was never meant to look that closely.
