What if your grief could be taken away and your family said yes?
Finn Mercer notices something no one else does, small corrections in the world around him. Things break, then fix themselves. Details that should stay wrong somehow don't. He's the only one who sees it. He's the only one who remembers.
At first, Finn thinks he may be losing his mind. But the corrections are spreading, and the closer he looks, the more the world seems to notice him looking back.
What begins as a psychological mystery becomes something larger and darker: the discovery of a system designed to remove grief, trauma, and unbearable memories from people who can no longer carry them.
With their families' consent.
As Finn uncovers what has been changed, including pieces of his own past, he is forced to confront a question more dangerous than whether his reality is real:
If pain can be erased, what else disappears with it?
A psychological science-fiction thriller about memory, grief, identity, and the cost of a world that mistakes suffering for an error.
A beautifully haunting novel. - Reedsy Discovery, Must Read
