The Longevity Mortgage: The Years Were Never Free

By A.K. Solenne

Elias Venn is nineteen credits short of eviction when an Imperium recruiter finds him.

The contract is simple: take the supplement, maintain the zone infrastructure, and Imperium covers the arrears. In exchange, Elias gains access to a longevity compound that stops the body from aging - and starts a clock that never runs backwards.

What begins as a way out becomes something else entirely. The compound is addictive in ways the contract never names. The debt accumulates through clauses Elias didn't know to read. And somewhere beneath the gleaming infrastructure of Zone Four, the source of the supplement is not what any worker was told.

The Longevity Mortgage is a tightly-plotted dystopian thriller about dependency, complicity, and the moment a person decides the system needs to cost them something.

For readers of Never Let Me Go, The Power of the Dog, and dark speculative fiction that keeps its promises.
