When twelve-year-old James Carter discovers a strange piece of warm metal buried in the forest behind his home, he has no idea he's stepped onto a road that remembers everything.
The metal awakens an ancient force a living Road that connects worlds and feeds on memory. Drawn east by its silent call, James is pulled into a realm where forests hunt, ruins breathe, and identity itself is slowly erased.
When his loyal dog Coco disappears, James follows and learns the truth too late.
The Road does not give without taking.
As creatures rise to worship or hunt those who carry living metal, James must navigate a collapsing world where every step forward costs him a piece of his past. Names fade. Faces blur. And the memories that make him human begin to slip away.

Because some roads lead to power. Some lead to control. And one remembers everything even when you don't.
