A Face the Light Forgets (Resonance Born)

By D. L. Marlowe

Tamsin Osei trusts systems more than stories. So when a former clinic coordinator disappears from a secured transit corridor and every witness remembers something different, Tamsin follows the evidence no one's perception can rewrite.

The trail leads to Veyr, a hunted resonance-born man whose body can disrupt visual attention. People can look directly at him and still lose the shape of his face. Cameras remember what human eyes do not. Tamsin should treat him as a dangerous variable-except she can see him with a clarity that frightens them both.

Veyr has survived by being overlooked. Tamsin's attention could become the most precise weapon ever used against him, yet she may be the only investigator disciplined enough to separate what she feels from what she can prove. As a medical-transfer network closes in, their uneasy alliance becomes intimate, volatile, and impossible to dismiss as mere compatibility.

To expose the people exploiting witness uncertainty, Tamsin must decide when evidence is enough to choose trust. Veyr must decide whether being truly seen can be an act of freedom instead of surrender.

A Face the Light Forgets is an adult near-future science-fiction romance with thriller pressure, a powerful nonhuman hero, a competent heroine, high-heat romantic tension, and a complete central-couple resolution. It is Book 2 in the interconnected Resonance Born series.
