In the city of Lumnis, memories can be stolen, sold, and traded like currency. Elysia, an 18-year-old memory thief, survives by infiltrating black markets and collecting rare fragments to sell. One night, she discovers a forbidden fragment marked with an ancient seal. When she touches it, she is drawn into a dreamscape where a mysterious boy named Kael awaits—someone who seems to know her past better than she does.

As Elysia investigates the fragment’s origin, she uncovers a secret network that manipulates stolen memories to control people and rewrite events. Each encounter with Kael brings them closer, but danger escalates, and the fragments leave lasting scars both physically and mentally. Elysia must navigate conspiracies, betrayal, and forbidden connections while learning the truth about her own forgotten past.

Every choice comes at a cost. Will Elysia risk everything to uncover the truth and protect those she cares for, or will the price of memory be too high? “Shadow of Memories” is a dark fantasy romance about love, secrets, and the memories that define us.
