Early draft
When the city library of Vey starts quietly erasing books, sixteen-year-old Mara Vale discovers the losses are not random but tied to a hidden catalogue that can rewrite what people remember. To stop the city from being edited into something safer and smaller, she has to work with the one boy who can still read the missing sections and decide how much truth the city can survive.
