The Memory of Twelve

By Catherine Ann

Jane Jones has spent the last six years locked inside an unsanctioned psychiatric facility, dismissed as dangerous, delusional, and fundamentally broken. She hears voices and smells the world at a molecular level. She's too strange. Too intense. Too certain. The kind of girl the world tries to make smaller.

But Jane is something ancient. An Original custodian of mankind. One in a Clan of Twelve.

During the First Age, she made a choice to take memory from humanity at death, giving them back their wonder in the next life. Their first times. Their ability to be surprised by the world again.

Then she hid herself to keep that choice from being undone. The most powerful being in existence made herself small and forgotten on purpose.

And then forgot she did it.

Now the Second of Twelve has finally found her. He remembers every human life ever lived, every Guardian, every Age and every ending. He is the only one left standing in the full, unbroken light of everything that ever was.

And not one of them remembers him back.

She made sure of it.

The Memory of Twelve is a supernatural literary thriller about identity, memory, consequence, and the impossible cost of trying to save humanity from itself.
