The Last Ember of Aetheria

In a world where memories are currency and emotions are power, seventeen-year-old Lyra is a Memory Thief hunted by the very empire she once served. When she steals a forbidden memory from the Emperor's vault she discovers a truth that could shatter the realm: the Aetherian Empire was built on a genocide, and she is the last heir to the civilization they destroyed.

Now, with the empire's deadliest assassin on her trail and a rebel prince who doesn't trust her, Lyra must decide: hide the truth to survive or ignite a revolution that could burn everything down including herself.

But in a world where your deepest fears can be weaponized and your happiest memories can be stolen... the most dangerous weapon of all is hope.
