Kiana Strade can dive deeper into blood memories than pretty much anyone on the planet. But instead of stepping up to lead the temple like everyone expects, Key just wants to stay in her lane, do low-key research for the Museum of Human Memory, and completely avoid the spotlight.
Valerian IV is her dual-sword-wielding bodyguard who protects Key from both shady rivals and Key’s own total lack of self-preservation. Vale cares about Key as a friend—and honestly, maybe something more—but at the end of the day, she has to keep this paycheck coming to support her family back home in the storm-wrecked south.
Then Key unlocks a memory that completely contradicts official history, and Vale is the only one who witnesses the immediate red flags. Key’s mentor gives a super sketchy explanation and brushes it off, while her overbearing mom straight-up demands she drop the research entirely. Worse, the memory hits Key so hard that she starts glitching—losing track of minutes, hours, then whole days.
As Vale gets pulled deeper into Key’s unhinged fixation on finding answers, they uncover a massive cover-up and a brutal betrayal. They’re left with two options: play along with the lie, or burn their whole lives down for the truth.
Either way, Key is getting completely consumed by the past, and the clock is officially ticking.
