About this listen
Time is being edited. She’s the only one who notices.
When brilliant temporal systems analyst Mara Kline is called to investigate the murder of a reclusive cryptographer, she expects classified technology and bureaucratic secrecy. What she finds instead is a relic that shouldn’t exist—a device capable of rewriting cause and effect itself.
As unexplained anomalies ripple across reality—timestamps without dates, memories that contradict the present, and events that haven’t happened yet—Mara discovers the truth is far worse than a single crime. Someone has activated an ancient machine known as the Ur-Engine, altering the timeline piece by piece.
Each change leaves scars. Each correction carries a cost.
When a version of Mara’s long-dead sister begins appearing in this fractured reality, the investigation becomes personal. Forced to choose between preserving the timeline or saving someone she lost, Mara must confront a ruthless syndicate, an unseen editor of history, and the terrifying possibility that time itself is deciding who deserves to exist.
The Relic Cipher is a fast-paced science fiction thriller where memory is unreliable, causality is weaponized, and the past is never truly settled.
