Overview

When Maya Reyes begins to fade from existence—her hands turning transparent, her body slipping in and out of reality—doctors dismiss it as anxiety. Only Sutton Ashford believes her.

Sutton offers Maya a temporary job cataloging her late mother’s medical archives at a remote Victorian estate. Desperate for answers, Maya accepts—and uncovers a terrifying secret hidden in the basement: glass chambers holding the consciousnesses of chronically ill women, separated from their bodies and preserved as research subjects.

As Maya’s own disappearance accelerates, she and Sutton attempt the impossible—reversing the process and saving the women trapped in glass. Each success brings hope. Each failure carries devastating consequences.

Bound by shared experiences of pain, dismissal, and isolation, Maya and Sutton grow closer in the face of impossible odds. But with Maya’s own chamber already prepared, time is running out.
