The Memory Broker

EVERY SOUL HAS A PRICE. EVERY MEMORY HAS A COST. In a city where memories are the ultimate commodity, they call him the Broker. His job is to tell the real from the fake, a skill he has perfected because of a strange emptiness: his own past is a blank slate, making him the perfect, unbiased judge of other people's lives. His detachment is his greatest asset. But his world is shattered when a powerful client offers him a fortune, not to buy a memory, but to erase one. The target is a ghost in the system, a man named Kaelen, and the job pulls the Broker into the crosshairs of the ruthless Authority that secretly governs the city. Hunted by assassins and haunted by visions of a forgotten war, his only clue is a fractured memory shard. This is no simple recording. The shard is alive, an aggressive piece of history that begins to infect the hollows of his mind, flooding him with feelings that aren't his and threatening to overwrite his very identity. The man who sold the world its past is now forced to find his own. In a city built on beautiful lies, he must uncover a truth so dangerous it was wiped from existence... before the memory consuming his soul erases him for good.
