But instead of devoting her talents to the temple she's meant to lead, Key is determined to use her skill as a researcher for the Museum of Human Memory. . . and to avoid the public eye in opulent, cutthroat Asheburg. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eValerian might look like a delicate country girl, but her lightning-fast swords protect Key from murderous rivals and her own enthusiasm alike. Vale cares about Key as a friend--and maybe more--but most of all, she needs to keep her job so she can support her parents and siblings in the storm-torn south. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when Key collects a memory about the founding of the temple that diverges from official history, no one but Vale sees the fallout. Key's mentor suspiciously dismisses the finding. Her powerful mother demands she stop research altogether. And Key, unusually affected by the memory, begins to lose moments, then minutes, then, for her own safety, days. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Vale becomes increasingly entangled in Key's obsessive drive for answers, the two women uncover a shattering discovery--and a devastating betrayal. Key and Vale can remain complicit in the Museum's unethical practices, or they can jeopardize everything to bring the truth to light; either way, Key is becoming consumed by the past in more ways than one, and time is running out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mia Tsai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 164566208X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645662082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Erewhon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Mia Tsai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372850434303,"sku":"9781645662082","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f1063d1-5247-4774-a051-8dc97f079258.jpg?v=1732727144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-memory-hunters-mia-tsai-9781645662082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
