In a world where thoughts are programmed and dreams are forbidden, one girl's mind ignites a revolution.

In the year 2187, after a nuclear fire reduces the world to ash, only one city remains: Ash, a walled dystopia ruled by technocratic programmers—a council that controls oxygen, food, and even memory itself. Every citizen is implanted at birth with an intelligence chip that defines their role and suppresses their ability to dream.

But seventeen-year-old Sera is different.

Her chip is disabled. She dreams.

Haunted by visions of verdant landscapes, real sunlight, and a life beyond the walls, Sera begins to question everything she's known. When she joins a secret resistance called the First Memory, she uncovers buried truths and forbidden knowledge that could bring down the entire system. With the city's enforcers closing in and betrayal lurking everywhere, Sera must risk everything to ignite the spark of freedom.

Because beyond the Wall, a real, living world still exists.

Ash is no longer the last city to awaken but the first.
