In a society where language is tightly controlled and emotional expression is outlawed, Nora works at the Word Recovery Bureau, erasing forbidden phrases and dismantling memories one sentence at a time. Her world is composed of order and silence—until the day she receives a Level 6 Restricted manuscript that refuses to be forgotten.

Inside its fading pages are dangerous words. Poetic. Personal. Familiar. They stir feelings Nora has been trained to suppress—longing, grief, even love—and awaken memories she doesn't remember making. As forbidden dreams surface and the voice of a child echoes through her mind, Nora finds herself unraveling not just a past she never knew she had, but a rebellion buried in her own handwriting.

With each page, her grip on sanctioned reality loosens, pulling her toward truths the Bureau fought to bury. But language is power. And someone—somewhere—still remembers her voice.

In a regime built on silence, what happens when the one meant to erase becomes the one who remembers?

What if the words you were forced to forget... were the only way back to yourself?
