207 years ago they cut into the moon. Now it falls in pieces, memory is currency, and Vanta’s rich live above the fog. Jalen Rook a memory thief and races as a cover. One stolen chip carries his dead mother’s voice and makes him the Archive King’s target. With a smith, a mechanic and the surgeon hired to erase him, he runs from the slums through walled cities, deserts and monsters toward the moon itself. Every job has two halves. The second always costs more.
