FIRE & ICE

Sigrid Halvard audits systems for a living, and she has never forgotten anything. Until she discovers thirteen days of her own life have bee rewritten. Nine excisions appear in her personal record, each gap meticulously filled with false continuity. The discrepancies are small at first: a warm apartment before her arrival, a kettle sitting inches from where she left it, moments that refuse to align with memory. Then Sigrid discovers a file bearing her name. Scripts. Behavioral projections. Detailed annotations of a marriage that should have been private. Someone has been recording her life. Worse, someone appears to be arranging it. Each unanswered question exposes another fracture in the reality she thought was fixed. Every attempt to remain unnoticed far beyond her understanding. Somewhere beneath the first pyramid, hundreds of millions of lives are filed and catalogued. It bears her name. Fire & Ice is a literary cosmic horror thriller about memory, surveillence, identity, and the terrifying possiblity that reality is only a draft.
