A city can be built from stone, glass, roads, and electricity. Meridian is built from what people refuse to remember.

For seventeen years, Daniel Vale has made a living proving that absence has a shape—that a missing person, a redacted document, or a deleted file leaves a measurable trace. But when he unlocks a forbidden drawer left behind by his estranged father, Elias, he uncovers something that defies all professional logic: a photograph of himself, older and lined with grey, standing beside a woman he has never met in a city that does not exist on any map.

The city is Meridian.

As Daniel’s investigation draws him deeper into his father’s past, he stumbles upon 'Mnemosyne'—a secretive cognitive infrastructure designed to map, store, and edit human experience. As boundaries between past trauma and engineered reality dissolve, Daniel realizes that Meridian is not just a place. It is a living archive built from human memory, and it has been waiting for him to arrive.

With only seven days before his own memories begin to unspool, Daniel must navigate a maze of altered ledgers, institutional secrets, and alternate versions of his own life. Perfect for fans of mind-bending techno-thrillers and complex psychological sci-fi mysteries.
