The Sacred Forgetting

A Novel

"The forgetting is not the punishment. It's the method." — Chapter Five

Before memory, there was choice. A soul in the Staging Area — the place between lives — prepares to descend to earth. She will forget who she is and why she came. She will be born into an ordinary coastal town, grow into an extraordinary gift, and spend a life threading an ancient language back into a world that has almost entirely lost it. But the Unravelers are patient. And they have been working for a very long time.
