Empire of Memories is a speculative, interactive novel about choice, memory, and power. Set in a fractured world where every decision alters reality, this book gives you agency over your journey. The world you navigate will remember you long after the final page.
No two experiences are the same. Co-create a unique character and see yourself embedded in the text. Collect all the variants. Connect with other readers.
In Valens, choices aren't abstract - they're threads of energy, woven into a vast, living network that sustains the empire's reality. Every decision is visible, every mistake, a ripple. Lucraezia, Valens' engineered heir, has been groomed to wield this intricate power - until a message from her presumed-dead father reveals cracks in the perfect façade.
Her search for answers leads her to Jax, a Memory Thief whose touch can unravel the past. In the fractured territories beyond Valens' gilded core, memories are a currency as potent as power, traded and stolen by those who control the empire's future. As Lucraezia uncovers the cost of Valens' brilliance, she must decide: protect the empire that defines her - or destroy it to reclaim herself.
Enter the World
When you begin reading, you will be prompted to provide your name, and become a character within the book—one with a secret history. This is a story you don't just read. You live it. The world you navigate will remember you long after you turn the final page...
Free Trial: Read the first 5 chapters completely free. Experience the personalized storytelling and see if it's right for you.
Full Access: $11 for the complete interactive novel.
It's a book, just a wildly interactive one. You read, you make choices, and the story responds. No dice, no controllers, no complicated rules. Just you, your questionable decisions, and a world that remembers everything.
If you've ever wished N.K. Jemisin and R.F. Kuang would co-write a book, or you read Sarah J. Maas for the romance and Rick Riordan for the snark, you'll probably vibe with Empire of Memories. BookTok teens, book club adults, fantasy fans, literary fiction lovers, and anyone who likes a little chaos are welcome. (Bonus points if you like unreliable narrators, found family, enemies to lovers, or just yelling at fictional characters.)
Empire of Memories is what happens when you mix epic fantasy, literary fiction, and a healthy disrespect for genre boundaries. Your choices actually matter, the world remembers you, and you can replay for new chaos (and maybe a little romance). Expect beautiful prose, plot twists, and a dash of Black Mirror weirdness. No two playthroughs are the same, unless you really try to make the same mistakes twice.
The first 5 chapters are free. After that, it's $11, less than a fancy cocktail, and it lasts way longer. (No hangover, either.)
Absolutely. Your name, your choices, your secrets. (We promise not to tell anyone what you did in Valens. Probably.)
There's a map! And if you still get lost, that's part of the fun. Welcome to Valens, where even the author sometimes needs directions.
