A Dish Best Served Cold

In a world where memories are currency, what would you pay to forget... or to remember who you really are? Lyra Vale is a memory-thief-an illegal "shifter" who trades in stolen pasts for clients desperate to forget pain, shame, or secrets. In the gleaming, glass-domed city of Virelia, where the privileged buy perfection and the broken are erased, Lyra has always played by her own rules-until the day she steals a memory that belongs to her. Now hunted by the system she once served and haunted by fragments of a past she doesn't remember choosing to forget, Lyra must unravel a conspiracy that runs deeper than she ever imagined. Because the truth buried in her mind could destroy the city-or set it free. But time is running out. And in Virelia, remembering the wrong thing can get you permanently erased.
