About this book

In 2038, former reality auditor Mara Vale lives in a world made calm by the Consensus, a planetary AI that edits information before anyone can see it. When her estranged brother dies in a climate-relocation riot and then sends her an impossible message from beyond the grave, Mara is pulled into a hidden war over truth itself. The raw footage he leaves behind suggests disasters, uprisings, and entire populations are being erased from public memory. Hunted by powerful enforcers and drawn toward rebels, outcasts, and something awakening inside the system, Mara must decide whether exposing reality will free humanity—or shatter the fragile peace keeping civilization alive.
