🌍 Short Summary:
In a city shackled by a strict regime that has outlawed physical books and censors all knowledge, sixteen-year-old Mara lives an obedient life. Her days are a blur of rote compliance lessons, her nights dulled by tightly monitored networks that allow no room for curiosity.

But Mara’s heart is different.

One rainy afternoon, exploring the ruins of an old school set for demolition, she stumbles across a hidden door leading deep into the earth. There, untouched by the regime’s reach, waits a vast underground library. Dusty shelves groan under the weight of forgotten stories — histories of freedom, revolutions, breathtaking art, haunting mistakes, and the luminous music of generations past.

As Mara devours these books, she realises how little her world truly knows. But the regime’s enforcers are closing in. Teaming up with The Keepers, a clandestine group sworn to protect these last scraps of human memory, Mara becomes part of a desperate mission to share these truths before the library, and the very idea of history, is obliterated forever.

Mara must decide: will she risk everything for stories that could shatter her world’s complacent silence? Because remembering isn’t just about longing for what was — it’s the only way to reclaim what might be.
