At seventeen, Lain Fisher has already aced the
Institute’s elite training program for Mindwalkers, therapists who use a direct neural link to erase a patient’s traumatic memories. A prodigy
and the daughter of a renowned scientist — whose unexplained death left
her alone in the world — Lain is driven by the need to save others.
When Steven, a troubled classmate, asks her to wipe a horrific childhood
experience from his mind, Lain’s superiors warn her to stay away.
Steven’s scars are too deep, they say; the risk too great. Yet the more
time Lain spends with him, the more she begins to question everything
about her society. As she defies the warnings and explores Steven’s
memories, it becomes clear that he’s connected to something much
bigger... something the Institute doesn’t want the world to discover.
Lain never expected to be a rule breaker. She certainly didn’t plan on
falling in love with a boy she’s been forbidden to help. But then, she
never expected to stumble into a conspiracy that could ignite a
revolution.
