The story

About the book

Remembering is not the same as surviving.

In Shadows of Resistance, Allen Mercer is no longer a blank slate walking a dead city. The fragments are coming back — corridors, orders, the taste of a life spent on the wrong side of the glass. Mia Turner needs those memories if the rebellion is going to strike anything that matters. Techno-Synth needs them silenced.

The Outlands are no sanctuary. Patrols thicken. Drones learn new tricks. And the people who took Allen in are about to learn what it costs to shelter a man the regime still considers its own.

Book Two is the turn from survival to resistance — the moment a handful of ghosts decide they are done being forgotten.
