Inhaltsangabe

The tablet was lying. And so was Dr. Heller when he called it a grain inventory.

Mara Quinn speaks a dead language that shouldn't exist - Lethean, a tongue that lets you make the world forget, for seven minutes, at the cost of a happy memory. She lost her wife's laugh to decipher an ancient tablet. She lost their first date to find her keys. For eleven years, she's been trading pieces of herself to solve problems that don't deserve the price.

Then legendary explorer Liora Kline vanishes in the salt wastes of Anatolia. Her journal arrives at Mara's Berlin apartment with a single line: If you are reading this, I have already erased my daughter once.

Deep beneath the white salt flats of Tuz Gölü, a city that was erased to save it waits to be remembered. The Library of Lost Gods is not a place of books. It is a place of names - a ledger of every memory ever traded. And it is full.

To survive the descent, Mara must confront a terrifying truth: the word that can bring back the dead is not a word at all. It is silence. Seven minutes of it. And the price is the self.

If you have ever written something on your arm so you wouldn't forget - this book is for you.

For readers who love: The Da Vinci Code meets The Memory Police - archaeological adventure with the soul of literary fiction.
