In the labyrinthine city of Mnemos, memories are not just thoughts; they are a tangible, glowing currency traded in glass vials. Lyra is a Siphon, a street-thief born with the rare magical ability to extract and manipulate these memories. When a routine heist goes wrong, she accidentally steals a brilliant silver vial containing a suppressed memory that could unravel the very foundation of the kingdom. Hunted by the Chancellor’s ruthless Inquisitors, Lyra is forced to ally with Orion, an exiled royal archivist. Together, they must navigate a treacherous underworld of forgotten catacombs and memory-eating golems to broadcast the truth to the city before their own minds are permanently erased.
