Blurb: When conformity is law, and deviation can cost you everything, one intrepid hacker stumbles upon a startling cache of forbidden personal archives.

Eleanora “Enby” Yownsend lives in the shadows, a hacker surviving on scraps in a city that punishes anyone who dares to live authentically. Undeterred, they dive into the lives of five friends who once lived where this very city stands. Told in their own voices, these powerful, intimate stories reveal the lives of those who came before The Cleansing: a found family bound by courage, defiance, and the hope for something better.

But freedom has a cost, and the past is soaked in blood.
