Abstract

The Weight of Knowing: Of Aura and Void is a genre-blended literary fantasy novel in progress.

Drawn into a dark conspiracy to keep history intact with an entity called the Archive, Lucte (a tea shop owner and healer by heritage) soon realizes that she is the only member who can keep secrets from it. At first, she’s thankful for a small corner of herself she can keep hidden. But when she learns that Heritech (the corporation running the government) also has access to the Archive, Lucte inadvertently becomes the one person who might prevent them from using the Archive’s information to distort the reality of her world.
