The First Forgetting

A young woman experiences her first unexplained memory loss — a single missing moment tied to someone she once trusted. At first, she blames stress, distraction, anything rational. But when the forgetting grows, taking pieces of her past she can’t afford to lose, she realizes something deeper is happening.

As autumn settles in, she begins to sense a pattern: the forgetting isn’t random. It’s emotional. And it’s only the beginning.

The First Forgetting is a haunting, atmospheric prequel novella that reveals the origin of the phenomenon that shapes the entire series. A perfect introduction for new readers — and a chilling secret for those who want to know how it all began.
