Gólem Golem
“The first time I left my body, my mom’s friend was lying on top of me. I awoke to a sliver of light streaming in through a crack in the door, and I saw a shadow move across the room, settling over me. The darkness felt heavy, as if it were swallowing me whole, erasing me from existence, but of course, I had no words for it then.”
A young woman dies repeatedly and travels in time, tasked with saving the world’s richest people from accidents or attacks, thus prolonging their lives. After being raised in foster homes, she was sent to a school run by a powerful company, where she was prepared for this brutal life’s work. But one day, the company’s very existence is threatened, bringing unpredictable consequences for her and the people she loves.
Golem is a gripping story set in a dark and ruthless future where dissent is stifled before it begins.
