The Memory Auction

In Neonspire, 2087, memories are currency-sold legally, traded darkly. Detective Mira Calloway hunts the Veil, a black market peddling the traumatic *MemPrints* of the dead, until a raid uncovers her own childhood nightmare up for bid: a fire, a scream, her mother's voice lost to smoke. The Ghost, a shadowy broker, claims it's a key-to her past, to a conspiracy binding the city's soul. As Mira digs, she finds her father, Elias, sparked the memory trade, her mother, Jana, its first victim-both burned by Lumora, the corp now ruling Neonspire's minds. With her tech-savvy partner Lina, Mira goes rogue, cracking vaults and cutting heads-Drennan, Holt, Senn-broadcasting Lumora's sins to a waking city. But Kael Voss, the Veil's scarred mastermind, holds the final thread: Jana's fate. In a world where trauma is power, Mira's war is just beginning.
