In a society governed by AETERNIRIS-an all-seeing system that predicts and corrects every human action-freedom isn't restricted. It's redefined. Jack Aldren believes he's a loyal bureaucrat, until memory fractures, erased records, and forbidden messages begin to surface. As the system closes in, Jack meets Eva, a woman who remembers too much in a world built to forget. Together, they begin to unravel a truth more chilling than surveillance: even resistance might be part of the design. In a world where autonomy has been optimized out of existence, their only act of defiance may be the refusal to follow the script. The Consent of Shadows is a dystopian debut in the spirit of 1984 and Black Mirror-a haunting meditation on identity, control, memory, and the quiet power of choosing-even when the choice itself has been predicted.
