Description

For twenty years, Greta Davenport has carried the guilt of surviving the accident that killed her parents—until a blank card arrives with an invitation to the Found Object Society. Beneath the city, an opulent subterranean world waits: choose an object from any time and place, and you can relive the final moments of the person who died holding it. What begins as a desperate search for relief becomes an addictive cycle, even as Greta grows determined to uncover who built the society—and why its power feels tailored to the broken. Blending speculative suspense with episodic, multi-voiced time travel, this genre-bending debut explores grief, trauma, and the seductive bargains of power, asking how far a person will go to rewrite loss. Michelle Maryk’s atmospheric, high-concept storytelling turns the ultrarich’s private fantasies into a chilling mirror of our most unresolved wounds.
