Nine wakes in a damaged cryopod with memories that don’t belong to him—fragments of a life lived by someone named Jacob. Pulled from the wreck by a salvage crew and taken aboard the corvid-shaped ship Rook, he’s given a name, a second chance, and a question he can’t outrun: if your memories aren’t yours, what is?

As the past closes in and the truth of what he carries begins to surface, Nine must decide who he’s going to be—what he’ll keep, what he’ll let go, and whether identity is something you inherit… or something you choose.

Larak has spent his whole life trying to outrun the shadows of a town that never wanted him. Cedar has spent just as long hunting ghosts across miles of empty road, chasing down a past he can't quite forgive.

When their paths collide at a crumbling roadside motel, both men are caught in a fight for something neither thought they could have: hope.

But freedom comes with a price, and the past is never as far behind as you think.

In a world of stolen futures and second chances, Larak and Cedar must decide—
How far would you go for the life you were never supposed to have?

A story about escape, survival, and the slow, stubborn courage it takes to build something better.

Perfect for readers who love raw emotion, slow-burn tension, and finding light in the darkest places.

Not his past. His choice.
