Echos Of A Silent Star

A thief with no past. A target with all his secrets. And a heist that could destroy them both—or reunite a love that was stolen from the stars. Maximilian Thorne is known as the Silhouette: a ghost in the system, a memory thief with a mind scrubbed clean of pain and past. He takes the impossible jobs—the ones that break ordinary thieves. His latest contract is the ultimate challenge: steal a single, priceless memory from the neural archive of Sera Aevum, the brilliant and guarded head of a rival security firm. The job is simple. The target is not. From the moment he steps into her digital labyrinth, he's haunted by echoes he shouldn't recognize: the scent of jasmine and ozone, the warmth of a laugh he's never heard, the ghost of a touch that feels like home. Her defenses aren't just firewalls; they're emotional snares—weapons of memory and longing designed to trap any intruder with a heart. Max has no heart. At least, that's what he believes. But as he delves deeper, the impossible truth shatters his empty world: the memories he's stealing are his own. The woman he's been hired to rob is not a stranger. She is Sera, his wife. And seven years ago, he made a terrible, loving choice to have his mind erased to save her life. Now, the very corporation that wiped him clean has hired him to finish the job—to steal the last proof of his own existence from the woman who has guarded it, and her love for him, ever since. In a world where memory is the ultimate commodity and love is the most dangerous vulnerability, Max must pull off one final heist. But this time, he's not stealing a memory. He's stealing back his soul, his past, and the woman who never forgot him—even when he forgot himself. Echoes of a Silent Star is a breathtaking blend of mind-bending sci-fi thriller and epic, star-crossed romance—perfect for fans of the emotional depth of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the high-stakes heists of Inception, and the gritty, corporate dystopia of Cyberpunk 2077.
