Divided by Heaven

A dystopian romance from a terrifying future

The year is 2364 and eighteen-year-old Liv Newman dreams of a future that would allow her to escape her lower-class life. She makes a living as a purveyor of emotional memories, using a neurochip in her brain to sell so-called ‘scraps’ to wealthy clients. She may have sold a few memories somewhat illegally, but money means freedom, and that's what Liv wants most of all. When a certain customer offers her an absurdly high sum for a very dangerous job, Liv accepts without hesitation.

In contrast, police rookie Adrian Rao believes that a corrupt society needs order and a firm hand above all else. When he discovers that some dubious memory dealings are disrupting the brain chemistry of clients, he vows to eliminate the threat himself. Suspicion falls on Liv, but when Adrian finally tracks her down, he runs into an unexpected problem—her memories are gone. Can Adrian convict a girl for crimes she doesn't remember? And to make matters worse, their growing attraction to each other complicates the situation.

A masterpiece of speculative post-apocalyptic fiction to be devoured in one or two nights—a thrilling and terrifying ride into the future.
