Can you love someone you don't remember?
In a world devastated by the Last War, humanity's survivors have built a new society within four self-sustaining cities in the Mojave Desert. Designed to eliminate prejudice and conflict, this seemingly perfect civilization controls everything from the weather to the lives of its citizens.
Every four years, residents undergo tabula rasa, a procedure that erases their memories and gives them a fresh start.
Aris, a scientist who avoids emotional attachments, begins questioning her carefully ordered existence when recurring dreams hint at a forgotten past. Her encounter with Benja, a writer searching for memories of a lost love, leads her toward the mysterious Dreamers, an organization that may hold the key to recovering erased memories.
Blending dystopian science fiction with an emotionally compelling romance, Reset explores the enduring power of love, the meaning of identity, and the memories that make us human.
