She opens her door to a letter that makes no sense: “Your memories are the legal property of Elyon Drayce Industries.” She has never met Elyon Drayce. She has never signed anything. She doesn’t even remember losing a single moment of her life. But someone has taken one year from her mind, and the billionaire who claims to own it looks at her with a familiarity that shouldn’t exist. Expecting a legal fight, she storms into Elyon’s skyscraper. Instead of lawyers, she finds him—brilliant, controlled, and feared by almost everyone. Yet the moment he sees her, the composure shatters. His voice softens. His eyes follow her like he has been waiting for her to walk back into his world. And she can’t decide what scares her more: that he might be lying, or that he might be telling the truth. Elyon insists she came to him willingly. He swears the missing year was the most important part of her life. He warns that someone is hunting her, and he is the only one who can keep her safe. But he refuses to explain what she meant to him before the memories disappeared. Then the threats begin. Strangers follow her home. Her apartment is ransacked. Someone tries to force their way into her mind. And through it all, Elyon steps in—too fast, too intense, too protective, as if losing her once nearly destroyed him. The mystery deepens when a terrified boy clings to her and calls her “Mom” with absolute certainty. Enemies whisper her name like she’s the key to something they want. Elyon looks at her with a heartbreak he can’t hide. She doesn’t know if she should trust him. She only knows her heart reacts to him before her mind can catch up. Every moment she spends with him feels like falling back into a story she lived once, loved once, and lost. To survive, she must face the truth hidden in the year she cannot remember—and decide whether to walk away from Elyon Drayce, or step into a dangerous past she doesn’t recognize but her heart refuses to forget. Her memories may belong to him on paper. But her heart is a different battle. And in Elyon Drayce’s world, love is the most dangerous thing she can recover.

Every fear, wish, and ugly thought that refused to die has sunk into the cracks of reality and learned how to rearrange itself. The world is held together by something sleeping. A memory that is thinning, shedding pieces of itself into the dark. Pieces that rot. When the dream starts to collapse, the choice will be simple and impossible. Wake the sleeper, and accept the end. Or will you try to take his place?
