The Memory Eater - Mel Samaroo

Neural Sins, Book One

She was sent to harvest his memories. She wasn't supposed to keep one.

In 2087, AstraVeyne Biotech owns every feeling you've ever had. Grief is taxed. Love is licensed. And memories - the real, dangerous ones - are extracted, bottled, and sold to the highest bidder on the black market.

Wren Vale is the empire's sharpest harvester. She slips into the minds of dissidents, lifts the memory AstraVeyne wants buried, and walks out before the target wakes up. She's never failed. She's never felt anything about it.

Until him.

Kaisen Roth - Sin Ruler. Faction leader. The one name on AstraVeyne's permanent kill list. Wren's assignment is simple: get inside his head, find the memory that could end the empire, and leave him hollow.

Instead, she takes one for herself.

One memory. His. Stolen. Hidden behind her own neural firewall like contraband. And the second she replays it, she understands two things with terrifying clarity:

1. Everything AstraVeyne told her about Kaisen is a lie.

2. He already knows she took it.

Now the empire is hunting her. The Faction is hunting her. And the man whose memory is rewriting her from the inside out wants her alive - long enough to find out whether she's a weapon, a witness, or the only person left who can burn it all down with him.

Inside this book:

For readers of Haunting Adeline, The Atlas Six, and fans of Black Mirror who want their dystopia served with a love interest who would dismantle a corporation for them.

The empire owns your memories. He's the one you'd burn it down to keep.
