In a city where you can buy and sell people's pasts, they call him the Broker.
His job is to tell if memories are real or fake, and he is the best in the business. He deals in everything from a soldier's bravery to an artist's genius. The Broker can do this because he has no memories of his own-a perfect blank.
But his quiet life is turned upside down when a powerful client hires him not to buy a memory, but to completely erase one. The target is a ghost, a man the world has tried to forget, and the job is worth a fortune.
Soon, the Broker is pulled into a deadly conspiracy, hunted by the ruthless Authority that controls the city. His only clue is a broken piece of a memory-a "shard" from a forgotten war. This shard is alive, and it begins to invade his mind, flooding him with feelings that are not his and visions of a world on fire.
The man who built a life selling the pasts of others is now haunted by a memory he can't explain. He must uncover a truth so dangerous it was wiped from history... before his own mind is erased for good.
