A Novel · Science Fiction
In a future where memories can be extracted, sold, and overwritten, a black-market memory surgeon discovers a scar in her own mind — a memory someone erased on purpose, and is now killing to keep buried.
Inside the book
Memory Scars unfolds in three parts, tracing one memory surgeon's descent from black-market fixer to the one person who might unravel the system that built her.
Reya Voss makes her living pulling other people's worst memories out of their heads. Her latest job goes wrong when the memory she's extracting turns out to be one of her own.
Reya traces the erased memory back to the corporation that trained her — and realizes the scar wasn't an accident. Someone wanted her to forget on purpose.
With the people who erased her closing in, Reya has one chance to reclaim what's hers — before her own mind is rewritten for good.
"You can erase a memory. You can't erase what it made you become."From Part II — Memory Scars

Reader notes
"I read the first fifty pages in one sitting and then had to put it down just to catch my breath. The world feels lived-in, not explained."
"Reya is the kind of protagonist you don't fully trust and can't stop rooting for anyway. The twist in Part II wrecked me."
"Branson writes memory-tech like he's lived inside it. Smart, fast, and genuinely unsettling in the best way."
