In a world where memory isn’t stored—but grown, forgotten, or sacrificed—Avelithe walks the path of those who’ve been erased.

Once known by a name no one remembers, Avelithe returns to the shrine that once buried her mother’s voice, guided only by a thread of moss, silence, and the breath she no longer trusts. There, she awakens Kael—a boy she once loved, or might have betrayed—through the invocation of a name the world wasn’t meant to remember.

But reanimation comes with cost.

Each city they pass through—the drowned halls of Veilwater, the fire-woken vaults of Ignathra, the silencebound chamber of Aelion—demands confession, grief, and names willingly given. And when the archives themselves fracture, forgetting those who never had the right to speak, Avelithe must choose: become the vessel for another’s memory, or vanish beneath the weight of her own silence.

The Broken Archive is a poetic romantasy of resurrection, memory, and love shaped not by fate—but by what you’re willing to forget in order to be truly seen.
