In the post-nuclear ruins of the 24th century, where what is forgotten ceases to exist, Federation scout Sineus reinforces the fraying memory of a dying world. His duty shatters when an enemy assassinates a fortress wall not with bombs, but by erasing its very memory. The Unraveling has been turned into a weapon. Forced to desert his post to hunt this ghost, Sineus must seek aid from the soot-stained engineers of Union 9. They trust only in steel and sweat, viewing the soldier and his strange ability to perceive memory as a threat. To convince them to fight a common foe, he must prove his worth through labor, not rank, forging a fragile truce while the enemy systematically deletes the infrastructure holding their world together. The hunt leads to The Dome, an isolated city of chilling perfection. Its leaders offer salvation for a few and damnation for the rest. To secure the key to fighting back, Sineus faces an impossible choice. He can use his power to take it by force, an act that would save time but cost his own humanity. Or he can submit to a painstaking trial of cooperation, uniting bitter rivals in a pact as strong as an interlocked gear. In a world being unmade by division, can one man's refusal to break his principles be the memory that saves them all?
