About the book
New York City’s spirit has been crushed. People walk the streets with their heads down, withdrawing from one another and into the cold comfort of technology. Teenagers Mal and Laura have grown up in this reality. They’ve never met. Seemingly, they never will.
But on the same day Mal learns his brother has disappeared, Laura discovers her parents have forgotten her. Both begin a search for their families that leads them to the same truth: someone or something has wiped the teens from the memories of every person they have ever known. Thrown together, Mal and Laura must find common ground as they attempt to reclaim their pasts.
When the world forgets you exist, who can you trust except a stranger?
- A Chilling Dystopian Thriller: In a New York City crushed by apathy and technology, two teens discover they’re the targets of an unseen enemy.
- Wiped from Existence: Mal’s brother is gone. Laura’s parents have no idea who she is. They’ve been completely wiped from the memories of everyone they’ve ever known.
- An Unlikely Alliance: A street-tough fighter and a straight-A student are thrown together, their only hope for survival resting on a fragile, newfound trust.
- An Invisible Enemy: As they search for answers, Mal and Laura uncover a force that can alter reality and memory, with a plan that threatens not just them, but the entire city.
