The Memory Hunters

About the book

Imagine a combination of Inception and Indiana Jones in this captivating, romantic, and fantastical journey. Follow a determined academic and her steadfast bodyguard as they unravel an ancient secret that shakes the very core of their society, while also questioning their hidden love for each other. This sapphic, dark academia-adjacent, climate dystopia tale, complete with mushrooms, is perfect for fans of Blood Over Bright Haven, A Memory Called Empire, and Ink Blood Sister Scribe.

Kiana Strade possesses a unique ability to delve deep into blood memories like no one else. Instead of fulfilling her destined role at the temple, Key decides to pursue research at the Museum of Human Memory, away from the prying eyes of the public.

Valerian IV wields twin swords to protect Key from both enemies seeking to harm her and her own passionate spirit. While Vale cares deeply for Key as a friend, and possibly something more, her primary concern is ensuring she can provide for her family in the storm-ravaged southern region.

When Key stumbles upon a memory that contradicts official records, Vale is the only one who recognizes the significance of this revelation. Key's mentor dismisses the finding suspiciously, while her influential mother orders her to cease all further research. As Key begins losing track of time due to the memory's effects, Vale gets entangled in her quest for answers.

Together, the two women make a startling discovery that unveils a shocking betrayal. They must decide whether to uphold the status quo or risk everything to uncover the truth. As Key delves deeper into the past, time becomes a critical factor, and the consequences of their actions become increasingly dire.
