Cover Reveal!

We're thrilled to unveil the cover for upcoming psychological sci-fi thriller — a mind-bending journey through memory, mystery, and identity.

When psychologist Dr. Jason launches the Bi-Dimensional View (BDV) project, he sets off a chain reaction that unravels more than just human memory. Enters Constance, a mysterious woman claiming past-life memories, who infiltrates the project to reclaim lost abilities—and her past.

As secrets surface and realities blur, Dr. Jason finds himself entangled in a web of ancient artifacts, buried conspiracies, and his own fragmented truths. From the enigmatic Igbo-Ukwu bronze to a shadowy cast including Dr. Ibe and the unpredictable Pepe, nothing is as it seems.

Get ready for a twisty, mind-bending ride you won’t forget.
