On the brink of extinction, humanity entrusted its future to machines... But at what cost? By 2123, an all-encompassing artificial intelligence has rebuilt a world devastated by natural disasters - and, more profoundly, by human hubris. A dazzling technological utopia has emerged... but beneath its perfect surface, something far more sinister lurks. What if perfection were nothing more than a meticulously crafted illusion? Nestled between two mountain valleys, the forgotten city of Valeria harbors secrets that even progress couldn't erase. When a wave of unexplained disappearances shakes the isolated community, Elara Tempus, a newly appointed sheriff with a haunted past, is drawn into a mystery that extends far beyond the valley's edge. As she digs deeper, Elara awakens more than just buried memories. She triggers a chain reaction powerful enough to tear the fabric of reality itself. Hidden abilities begin to stir within her - bending her perception of time and revealing cracks in the very laws of physics, where the impossible becomes disturbingly real. In a world governed by artificial intelligence, every choice holds the power to reprogram humanity's destiny. But by crossing the boundaries of reality, Elara may save the world... at the cost of her own. Welcome to Valeria. This debut novel is a gripping journey through a high-tech utopia where AI rules the future - and buries dark secrets in the past. Inspired by theories of time travel and the many-worlds interpretation, the story delves into memory, identity, and the fine line between destiny and illusion.
