The Memory War
(2025)(The second book in the Convergence Chronicles series)
A novel by Keith Robertson
When truth becomes a weapon, democracy becomes a battleground.
In the aftermath of the Crown's restoration, the newly united kingdom faces its greatest threat yet—an invisible war waged not with swords, but with stolen memories and manufactured lies. As citizens wake to find their most cherished experiences replaced with artificial recollections, the very foundation of their hard-won democracy crumbles beneath systematic manipulation.
Sage Truthkeeper, royal archivist turned reluctant guardian of authentic history, discovers that the memory attacks trace back to an international conspiracy designed to destroy democratic governments through information warfare. With necromantic healer Marcus Voidheart sacrificing his own identity to restore others' stolen memories, and Queen Kira's dragon-enhanced senses detecting deception across entire populations, they race to develop humanity's first defense against psychological warfare on a civilizational scale.
But the enemy adapts faster than their countermeasures. When reality itself becomes negotiable and authentic experience indistinguishable from implanted fiction, survival depends on an unprecedented innovation: memory democracy, where truth is verified through community consensus rather than imposed by authority.
From the author of "The Shattered Crown" comes the explosive continuation of the Convergence Chronicles—a tale of political intrigue, magical innovation, and the ultimate question of who controls the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
Perfect for readers who love Brandon Sanderson's political complexity, Robin Hobb's character depth, and N.K. Jemisin's innovative world-building.
