How do you find someone you were never meant to remember?

In a world where grief is managed by the state and memory is a resource to be rationed, soldier liaison, Aya Kamara has learned to survive by hiding beneath the whispers. But when the world grows much too quiet, and a friend from her past returns offering her everything she’s been told to forget, her carefully controlled world shatters.
