Elaine Harper knows memories belong to the people who lived them. Until she finds a book containing her name. Hidden beneath the old university library, the Holloway Codex is not a forgotten manuscript. It is a record of lives that should never have been remembered. The moment Elaine reads the first page, she sees a winter forest she has never visited. She feels a stranger's fear. She remembers burying something beneath the snow.
But the memory is hers. When the same mysterious scar appears on her wrist, Elaine searches for answers and discovers she is not the first person to read the Codex. Others have vanished after learning the truth hidden inside its pages. The book does not reveal the past. It rewrites the person who reads it. Following fragments of stolen memories, Elaine is drawn to Holloway Valley, where an abandoned chapel holds a list of names - including her own.
Some names have been crossed out. Hers has not. As reality begins to fracture and her own identity becomes uncertain, Elaine must uncover the secret of the Codex before she becomes another forgotten chapter in its story. Because every book has an ending.
