Academy of Lost Names

What happens when the world forgets you ever existed?

Elias Veyne wakes up to a life in ruins — not destroyed, but erased. No contacts in her phone. No recognition in strangers' eyes. No record of her name anywhere in a city she once called home. She isn't dead. She isn't dreaming. She's simply... gone. Deleted from the world's memory like a page torn cleanly from a book.

But someone kept the page.

Swept into a hidden world beyond ordinary sight, Elias is brought to the Academy of Lost Names — a centuries-old institution that collects the erased, the forgotten, and the deliberately disappeared. Here, identities aren't just lost by accident. They're stolen. And the forces behind the stealing are far older, and far more dangerous, than Elias could have imagined.

Armed with only a mysterious pendant, a worn satchel of fragments from a life she can barely remember, and a stubborn refusal to disappear quietly, Elias must navigate a labyrinth of ancient secrets, cryptic gatekeepers, and whispered truths carved into walls that have stood for centuries. She isn't the only one searching for a stolen name. But she may be the only one willing to burn everything down to reclaim it.

Some names are lost. Some are taken. And some are worth dying to remember.

Academy of Lost Names is a gripping dark fantasy for readers who love intricate mysteries, fiercely determined heroines, and worlds where identity is the most powerful — and most dangerous — magic of all.
