A cryptic letter arrives with no return address, no stamp-only his own handwriting and a warning: "Do not meet her again." But he already has. And he can't forget her. As his reality begins to crumble, love and guilt entwine like smoke. Is she the cure to his emptiness-or the reason for his unraveling? In a world where nothing is certain, and even the self is suspect, how do you trust a heart that may not be your own?

Every night, he stands trial in a courtroom built from his guilt. Each accuser? Someone he once hurt. Each verdict? A stain on his waking life. Aleks Sarin has always avoided hard questions-about who he is, what he's done, and who he's become. But when his dreams turn into surreal courtrooms run by the shadows of his past, reality begins to unravel. The only way out may be to confess the truth he never dared to face.
