Parallelselves Stories

In a world where identity is regulated, archived, and corrected by the state, existence itself is conditional. When Investigator Conrad Vale is called to examine a corpse that should not exist, he discovers something impossible. The body is his. Same face. Same scars. Same DNA. Branded with a ribcage sigil the system refuses to recognize, the corpse exposes a truth the Identity Bureau has spent decades burying. As more "Mirrorfalls" appear, people duplicated from erased possibilities, Conrad uncovers a forbidden past involving childhood experiments, forced identity separation, and a twin the system deleted to preserve order. His name is Cassian Rael. And Cassian did not stay erased. Hunted by the Bureau, shadowed by a killer who may be more himself than enemy, and aided by a detective whose own history has been quietly rewritten, Conrad is forced to confront a question more dangerous than murder. Who decides which version of a person deserves to exist? As the grid that governs reality begins to fracture, the state prepares its ultimate solution: Rollback. A protocol designed to collapse timelines, erase alternates, and restore the illusion of a single, manageable world. To approve it is to commit silent genocide. To refuse it is to let reality splinter. Caught between collapse and mercy, Conrad must choose whether to become the weapon the system designed or the fault line that breaks it open. The Mirrorfall Protocol is a dark, cerebral science fiction thriller about identity, memory, and the violence hidden inside systems that claim to protect us. It asks a haunting question that lingers long after the final page. If every memory you have is a theft, what do you owe the person it was stolen from?

Book One of the Reverie Protocol Series In the neon-soaked city of Nohara, memories aren't sacred-they're a commodity. Seventeen-year-old Reika Kazumi works in a black market memory forge, helping strangers forget heartbreak, trauma, or even entire lives. But when a mysterious boy with trauma-linked powers touches her, something inside Reika shatters. Hidden memories surge forward-memories of being submerged, restrained, rewritten. Memories that shouldn't exist. Soon, Reika finds herself trapped between two worlds: the one she's always known, and a glitching reality known only as the Reverie-a place where forgotten truths resurface and fractured identities collide. As she unravels the secrets of her own past, Reika must confront a version of herself that was never meant to awaken-and a shadowy organization that will do anything to erase her for good. Because Reika isn't just a girl. She's a prototype. And her memories could dismantle everything.
