In a world where human lifespan can be extracted, traded, and stolen, time has become the most powerful currency on Earth.
Amani never intended to change the world-only to save her dying mother. But when she uncovers a hidden global system that redistributes years from the powerless to the elite, she discovers a truth too large to contain: life itself has been turned into an economy.
The wealthy no longer just own money. They own decades of stolen life.
When Amani exposes the system, reality begins to fracture. Markets lose agreement on value. Governments split into conflicting truths. Even death stops being consistently defined.
Now she must choose between protecting the only family she has left, or revealing a truth that could permanently dismantle the world built on borrowed time.
But once time is exposed as a system, it can never return to silence.
And once life is no longer private, it can never be owned again.
