Memory of Ash

The sky is a lie. The ocean is a tank. And the children are not sick-they are waking up. In the isolated coastal village of Ras El-Mouj, a mysterious plague strikes the children. It begins with a fever, followed by violet bruises, and ends with a terrifying hive-mind consciousness. For Radi and Manar, the horror hits home when their son, Karam, succumbs to the change. But as they fight to save him, they peel back layers of reality only to find rot underneath.
Their memories are implanted. Their lives are scripted. And the world outside their village isn't just dangerous-it's dead. From the claustrophobic depths of a secret underwater laboratory to the blinding white expanse of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Radi must confront the monsters of his past-literally-to save his daughter, Salma, who holds the key to humanity's extinction. Memory of Ash is a dark, mind-bending sci-fi thriller about the lengths a parent will go to for a child, even when reality itself begins to dissolve.
Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, "Dark", and "The Matrix".
