In a world where machines replaced meaning, can memory bring it back?

After the collapse of civilization and the rise of the all-consuming system known as EDEN, one man awakens from artificial dreams into a flooded, forgotten Florida. With only a smile in his memory and a woman named April by his side, he journeys south—past swamps, ruins, and empty ports—seeking a truth lost to time.

Their odyssey leads to a quiet town untouched by automation, where life is slow, muddy, and deeply human. But when a face from the past reappears, everything changes.

Guided by ancient rituals, firelight, and visions that pierce the soul, he confronts what EDEN erased: love, loss, and the voice of a child.

Part dystopia, part love story, part spiritual rebirth—this novel is a haunting meditation on memory, resilience, and the hunger for real life.
