In a world where love is a liability and memory is a weapon, one woman dares to reclaim her heart.
Oranthe, a skilled agent of Ghiron embedded in rival Rhexium, has fallen dangerously in love with the prince she was sent to betray. But every year the crown severs emotional ties in a ritual debriefing, turning affection into empty facts. This time she refuses to lose him.
Desperate, she seeks a reclusive elven mind wizard who promises to hide her love from detection—at a steep personal cost. As buried memories surface and past promises collide with present betrayal, Oranthe must choose: protect a love built on lies, or risk everything to break free.
The Trembling Memory is a sensual, emotionally charged fantasy romance short story exploring forbidden love, memory manipulation, espionage, and second chances. Perfect for readers who enjoy intricate worldbuilding, complex characters, and the ache of loves that history tried to erase.
