In a near-future world restructured by collapse, a nurse, a military engineer, an archivist, and a former soldier uncover signs that history is being slowly rewritten. United by a shared pursuit of truth—and one glowing, silent AI companion—they work to discover the key to what was lost, but reclaiming it may be more than they can bear.


The Things We Would Bear is the first in a thematically linked trilogy that explores empathy, memory, and identity across a fractured world. It is a completed speculative novel, currently seeking literary representation.
