In this city, disappearing is a government decision. Being remembered is an act of rebellion. Nara Seldren has spent her life measuring a world she thought she understood. But when a condemned street begins vanishing from reality—and a child starts disappearing with it—she discovers a terrifying truth. People aren't simply dying. They're being erased. And someone is keeping count. Beneath the city's carefully maintained order lies an impossible system where existence has a price. Time can be surrendered. Memories can be stolen. Entire lives can be written out of reality as though they never mattered. And the people controlling it will do anything to keep their secrets buried. Nara's only chance of uncovering the truth may lie with Ilan Drevane, a mysterious man whose own records conceal a dangerous lie. She has every reason to distrust him. Yet as they uncover the secrets connecting their lives, an uneasy alliance begins transforming into something neither of them expected. Something dangerous. Something forbidden. Something worth losing everything for. But in a world where every rescue demands a sacrifice, falling in love may be the most dangerous choice of all. As reality fractures and the city turns against those who refuse to forget, Nara faces an impossible decision: protect everything she remembers—or risk losing the very people she's fighting to save. Because some people are worth dying for. Others are worth rewriting reality to remember. KISS ME EXTINCT is a fast-paced, emotionally charged science-fantasy thriller blending a reality-bending mystery, dystopian suspense, and slow-burn forbidden romance. Book One of a five-part series. An approximately 12,000-word short read where every choice has a consequence—and some sacrifices can never be undone.
