Some questions follow you.
Others seem to remember you.
Mara Arden has a family she loves, a talent for understanding machines, and a past no one can explain. Years after surviving an aircraft crash, a missing woman’s records lead her toward a company whose answers do not agree.
Old images, unfamiliar places she seems to remember, and systems that respond as though she has returned draw her into a larger mystery. With Byra beside her, Mara must decide how far to go for answers without letting anyone else decide who she is.
