At first, you couldn't put a finger on what exactly had changed. But then some people's lives took on a new kind of magic. They acquired new abilities, began to move, eat, sleep differently. They built bridges and roads, towering buildings with endless locked doors inside. Only in their neighbourhoods, of course. The shimmering Khali districts above. Elarina is a Ghariq trained in Intake: to carry what others can't. Grief, shame, and anger. All that dulls their days and pierces their nights. Most days, the work is routine. Until an intake goes shatteringly wrong and a dangerous memory passes through Elarina’s hands. A name she should not know, a family designation that should never appear on her console. Now, shadows from the past are closing in on her present. In this world, knowledge is power, magic is sacred - but memories are everything. Can Elarina find a way to remove the barriers and give everyone, everywhere, peace forever? RELEASE SCHEDULE: 3 x chapters per week, Monday through Friday, but bonus chapters are also frequent!
