Codex Of Memories

Every human soul is a book. Every scar, every memory, every act, written into its pages. And when someone dies a wrongful death, their “book” refuses to close. Instead, the body twists open and becomes an Unread, a grotesque monster born from a story interrupted. After breaking free from an illusion that held him captive for three long years, Lucian Lysander awakens to a world unfit for the life he remembers. His family is dead. His memories have been carved out. His past is rewritten and edited by someone with the power to reshape lives the way an author rewrites chapters. All he has left is a purpose: find whoever stole his life… and rip their story apart. Follow Lucian as he walks through a world caught in the rising tide of machinery and industrialization, with towering smokestacks, humming gears, ambitious inventions, and a mysterious new energy that powers everything from factories to the rare, graceful machines rolling across cobblestone roads. But behind the mechanical splendor lurk secret organizations, mysterious cults, and the monstrous Unreads born from broken stories. In a world where everything has a story—and every story is alive—Lucian must uncover his own before it consumes him.
