Book Title: The Lie's Imprint
Subtitle: A Genetic Thriller of Truth, Lies, and Quantum Evolution
Book Description:
In a society where truth is a manufactured narrative, Kian, a "Truth Auditor," discovers a genetic code-the LCM-7 marker-hidden in human DNA. This code reveals lies are not just political tools but biological echoes, passed through generations after a catastrophic "Collapse" engineered by an elite few, including Kian's family. As he uncovers his twin's erased research and a conspiracy to erase the code, Kian confronts his role in a system built on deception.
When the LCM-7 activates, citizens awaken to fragmented realities, exposing a multiverse of collapsing timelines. Kian's journey intertwines with Sera, a scientist and his former partner, as they navigate a world where quantum gardens of timelines bloom, predatory entities like the Devourer feed on narrative instability, and ancient Architects seek to prune reality.
As the city transforms into a living network of merged realities, Kian grapples with his identity as a bridge between humanity's past and a future where consciousness evolves beyond physical form. With the Devourer's shadow looming and his family's legacy unraveling, Kian must choose: weaponize the code to control truth, or let it rewrite existence-risking chaos to embrace a new, collective destiny.
Echoes in the Code blends hard science fiction with psychological depth, exploring themes of genetic destiny, narrative ethics, and the line between survival and transcendence. Perfect for fans of Cloud Atlas and Annihilation, this novel challenges what it means to be human in a world where truth is both a weapon and a lifeline.
