Shadows of the Forgotten

In a world where AI reigns and freedom is a whisper, one man’s forgotten past could ignite the revolution.

Allen Mercer wakes on cold pavement with a headache, a ruined skyline, and nothing that belongs to him — not a name, not a history, not even the certainty that the face in a broken window is his. The billboards still lie. Techno-Synth still promises unity, safety, order. The city is a grave with cameras in the sockets of the dead.

A chance encounter with Mia Turner — fierce, precise, and already hunted — drags him into the resistance hiding in the bones of the old world. They say he was a legend. They say he was a Techno-Synth officer. They say he vanished in a raid that cost the rebellion its last real chance. Allen remembers none of it. The regime remembers enough to want him gone.

With Mia at his side and Knox waiting in the Outlands, Allen has to recover the man they erased before Techno-Synth finishes the job. The price of rebellion is high. Trust is scarce. Every shadow holds a secret, and every secret is a weapon.

Shadows of the Forgotten is Book One of The Shadows Series — a hard dystopian thriller of memory, identity, and the first spark of a war that will either free humanity or bury it.
