Flesh of the Forgotten Flame
Volume I of the Memory Doctrine
He wakes in the memories of the dead.
Not dreams. Not visions. Possessions.
Each one scars him. Each one brands him with glyphs he can't read but bleeds like scripture.
The Codex isn't a book. It's alive. And it's using him to rewrite the future.
Now he's hunted by fractured versions of himself, stalked by an Architect that never dies, and pulled toward a Breach that was never meant to open.
To survive, he'll have to stop carrying the Codex
and become it.
A burn-through novella of recursion, memory as weapon, and fire-born myth.
For readers of Neuromancer, House of Leaves, and The Book of the New Sun.
