Second Reality

Hope Rowana’s life has never been easy—shuffled between abusive foster homes, haunted by memories she can’t quite place, and constantly feeling like something in her reality is...off. Then, Zack appears. A stranger with a familiar gaze, he tells her the impossible: Her past has been rewritten. Her memories stolen. And someone is watching her, making sure she never remembers who she really is. As Hope digs into the truth, she discovers a secret organization that manipulates lives, erases identities, and turns people into ghosts. A man named Nathan holds the key to her real past—but the cost of remembering might be higher than she can pay. Racing against time, trapped between Zack’s cryptic warnings and Nathan’s deadly games, Hope must decide: Stay in the safety of the lie… or risk everything to reclaim her stolen life. For fans of The Silent Patient, We Were Liars, and Verity, Second Reality is a chilling psychological thriller that will leave you questioning reality itself.

Stacey Fischer was born 1990 in Melbourne, Australia. Some of her lyrical/vocal work may be found through the indie-rock band, Astrohym. The tale within her first novel however, seemed to her, far too elaborate to be held by song. Whether her words are sung or written, every note is inspired by the meet-cute of heart-felt experience, prolific embellishment, and sometimes, even the truth. Second Reality was the first ever novel authored by Stacey. The words therein began as her 14-year-old self-made wishes for those things she did not have. Now, her only wish is to share the story with you.
