The man who went to sleep was a billionaire. The man who woke up was a beggar, and the ghost that haunted him was himself.
Kael awakens from a two-year contract with his memory scrubbed and his fortune erased by a single, massive withdrawal made by the man he used to be. Before he can process his ruin, he is cornered by the Curators, a global enforcement agency that wants the weapon he can't remember building: a device that can overwrite reality itself.
Hunted and disoriented, Kael's only inheritance is a pocketful of trash. But a chocolate wrapper that jams military trackers and a compass that points to ripples in spacetime reveal a terrifying truth. These are not random junk; they are keys. They are a trail of breadcrumbs left by his other self, leading him toward an imminent, catastrophic event known as the Harvest protocol.
His engineered amnesia has made him the perfect weapon, and the only man who can stop the apocalypse is the one who set it in motion. To save the future, he must trust the ghost he paid to become.
A Note from the Author
We all have moments we wish we could forget. But what if you succeeded? What if you wiped the slate so clean that you became a stranger to yourself? That's the question that sparked Kael's journey. He isn't just a man with amnesia; he's a ghost haunted by a life he voluntarily erased.
This story is a puzzle box, where the pieces are not just clues, but fragments of a forgotten identity. I've always been fascinated by the idea that the most brilliant solutions can hide in the most mundane objects—a candy wrapper, a broken toy. Kael must learn to trust the instincts of a man he doesn't know, a mastermind who happens to be him. Thank you for picking up this book. I hope you enjoy putting the pieces of Kael's past, and his future, back together.
