About the Book
In the city of Lumina, memories are not just personal—they are currency, power, and punishment. The ruling House of Echoes holds a monopoly on Remembrance, a technology that lets anyone buy, sell, or erase memories. But the deeper truth about what happens to the discarded past is buried beneath layers of lies.
When orphaned thief Kael steals a forbidden Remembrance crystal, he triggers a chain of events that reveals Lumina's darkest secrets. Hunted by memory assassins, helped by an exiled Archivist, and burdened by echoes of lives not his own, Kael must confront what it means to remember—and what it costs to forget. The Price of Remembrance is a gripping fantasy thriller exploring memory, identity, and a city where forgetting the truth may be the deadliest crime.
From Chapter One
“The quill scratched softly against parchment, leaving behind a trail of arcane symbols and half-formed theories. Aldric Venn, once renowned as the most powerful mage in the kingdom of Lumina, now sat hunched over his desk, a mere shadow of his former self. The library around him was cluttered with ancient tomes, peculiar artifacts, and the remnants of countless experiments. Or so he assumed. The truth was, Aldric couldn't remember acquiring most of these items.”
