Some memories refuse to stay buried. Some bonds refuse to break.
When Nysera, a daring thief, dares to touch the Archive's forbidden seal, she's branded with a tracer that makes her every step visible to the Council. Now hunted through twisting corridors of stone and shadow, she has only one unlikely ally-Vaeryn, a former Keeper bound to her by a dangerous tether neither of them asked for.
The deeper they descend, the more the Archive reveals its horrors: memories stolen, lives siphoned, and whispers that pit them against each other. Secrets fester. Trust cracks. Desire burns between them, sharp and untimely. And as the Council closes in, Nysera must decide-
will she fight beside Vaeryn, or betray him before he betrays her?
The Living Archive is a dark fantasy debut woven with betrayal, slow-burn romance, and the haunting question: what would you sacrifice to rewrite your fate?
Fans of Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone and Holly Black's The Folk of the Air will find themselves at home in this world of secrets, memory-magic, and a bond that could either save them-or shatter them both.
