Operation Forgotten Spire

Picture
Grounded Dystopian Sci-Fi

In a world where history has been erased, one woman holds the key to the truth—if she can survive long enough to share it.
​

After a global cataclysm wipes the slate clean, erasing centuries of culture, knowledge, and identity, the surviving civilization clings to a fabricated past designed by the ruling Unity Council. Dr. Vivian Calloway—a devoted historian—has spent years crafting the official narrative, innocently building the myths her government demands. But when a doomed field mission uncovers fragments of forbidden truth, the illusion begins to crack. As her curiosity deepens into quiet rebellion, Vivian must choose: disappear into the wilderness, or risk everything to resurrect the past.

Now marked for execution, she must dismantle the very lies she helped build to convince her would-be executioner to turn against the regime. What follows is a psychological cat-and-mouse game—a battle of wits and willpower in a world where memory is weaponized and truth itself is treason.
