In a surreal city where names are currency, people can sell their identities for anything—wealth, beauty, intelligence, or power. But there's a catch: once you give up your name, whoever owns it controls your decisions.

Mark, a struggling young man desperate for fame, sells his name to climb the social ladder and become a celebrity icon. At first, life was everything he imagined—love, luxury, and power. But as his memories fade and moments of helpless obedience pass him by, he discovers a terrifying truth: someone is using his name to control his actions.

Now, trapped in a gilded cage, Mark must uncover his secret master's identity and reclaim what he so easily gave up. In a city where identity is a contract and free will is a commodity, the only way to survive is to become anonymous—and in doing so, more human than ever.

City of Names is a dark, thought-provoking, meditative tale about the price of ambition, the fragility of identity, and the struggle to reclaim one's soul in a world where everything can be bought—even one's self.
