The Archive of Broken Names
In a city where names are stored in a living archive and shape what people are allowed to become, seventeen-year-old Mara Venn discovers that her own name has been altered. To find out who changed it, and why, she has to move through bookshops, back rooms and the archive’s shifting index before her identity is rewritten out of existence.
