More about The Houses of the Curious
Decades ago, a band of neurally augmented rebels, the Seventy-Seven, and their leader, Arthur Lannius helped liberate the mountain town of Prospector from the Perpetual Corporation in a great machine war. Eventually defeated, the Seventy-Seven scattered and Lannius went into exile without a trace…except for a child.
When memories of a stranger burst into her mind, Aurora learns she is not an ordinary orphan of the war, but that she was entrusted to her mother by Lannius, and that she too is neurally augmented. In discovering her hidden augmentations, she accidentally awakens an old surveillance drone and reignites the dormant war.
When one of Perpetual's mercenaries attacks, Aurora and her friends flee their remote town and descend into the futuristic world beyond. There they discover a world where augmentations are the norm and imagination flows between people like magic. The future is full of wonder.
But, the safety of their world is short lived. Pursued by Perpetual for the memories that she holds, Aurora must choose a side in a secret war fought by machine armies and a pantheon of digital beings. Questioning both friend and foe, she wrestles with the memories of the mysterious other buried in her mind as the key to a war fought across time.
