THE THIRD VALVE

HER BODY HAS BEEN WORKING NIGHTS.
IT IS NOT WORKING FOR HER.

Seventeen-year-old Elena Voss wakes in an ice-cold shower with soil beneath her nails, a strange mark on her wrist, and a camera she has never seen before.

The footage shows Elena entering her own attic at night and attaching canisters to the ventilation system.

She remembers none of it.

Her parents insist everything is normal. But their smiles arrive a second too late, something pale is moving through the ducts, and Elena is beginning to realise that the greatest threat may be coming from inside her own body.

Following clues left by the only part of herself still fighting, Elena uncovers a hidden network built to steal memories, copy the people she loves, and transform twelve marked girls into living doors.

The seal is almost complete.

The system has never been reversed.

To get her family back, Elena must enter the circuit willingly and find the one fault it cannot correct from within.

But waking herself may also awaken something that has been waiting far longer.

The Third Valve: Smoke of Memory is a dark, atmospheric YA science-fiction thriller about identity, memory, family, and what happens when you can no longer trust your own mind.
