But instead of devoting her talents to the temple she's meant to lead, Key wants to do research for the Museum of Human Memory. . . and to avoid the public eye. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eValerian IV's twin swords protect Key from murderous rivals and her own enthusiasm alike. Vale cares about Key as a friend--and maybe more--but most of all, she needs to keep her job so she can support her parents and siblings in the storm-torn south. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when Key collects a memory that diverges from official history, only Vale sees the fallout. Key's mentor suspiciously dismisses the finding; her powerful mother demands she stop research altogether. And Key, unusually affected by the memory, begins to lose moments, then minutes, then days. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Vale becomes increasingly entangled in Key's obsessive drive for answers, the women uncover a shattering discovery--and a devastating betrayal. Key and Vale can remain complicit, or they can jeopardize everything for the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEither way, Key is becoming consumed by the past in more ways than one, and time is running out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMia Tsai \u003c\/b\u003eis a Taiwanese American author of speculative fiction, including \u003ci\u003eBitter Medicine \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Memory Hunters. \u003c\/i\u003eAn editor at \u003ci\u003eGigaNotoSaurus\u003c\/i\u003e, a 2024 Hugo Finalist for Best Semi-pro Zine, she is also a musician, teacher, and erstwhile photographer who earned her bachelors of humanities and arts in music and psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and her masters of music in piano pedagogy at Georgia State University.
