When an impossible transmission echoes across Meridian City at exactly 27.000 Hz, Inspector Aya Lin knows the signal isn't meant to be heard - it's meant to be answered. Drawn to the abandoned broadcast tower where the frequency was born, Aya uncovers a truth buried beneath two decades of silence: the tower doesn't transmit. It absorbs.

Grief. Memory. Fear. Every emotion the city refuses to hold has been feeding something inside the steel.

As Aya investigates, the world around her begins to fracture. Reflections lag behind her movements. Recordings of her voice speak words she never said. Files delete themselves or rewrite her past. And the frequency grows stronger - burrowing into her bones, synchronizing with her heartbeat.

To prevent Meridian from collapsing into madness, Aya must choose: release the tower's accumulated trauma back into the city... or become its living reservoir.

But the deeper she descends, the more the tower whispers her name - as if recognizing her. Calling her home.

A dark urban fantasy novella filled with haunting atmosphere, psychological tension, and dreamlike horror, The Frequency of Ash expands the Meridian City universe with a story of identity, memory, and the echoes we can't outrun.
