Six minutes. That's all it took for a color to disappear from an entire city — and nobody can explain why.
Dr. Mark Chen already knows what it looks like when a mind starts losing pieces of the world. He watched it happen to his mother for six years, long before an eclipse crossed over Manhattan and did the same thing to half of New York in a single afternoon. Now it's happening to his eight-year-old daughter, and this time he refuses to just watch.
The hospitals fill up faster than anyone can explain. The CDC shows up with more theories than answers. And the only thing keeping Mark's family tethered to the truth is an old film camera and thirty-six exposures standing between them and a world with nothing left to prove.
His wife, a historian, digs up something that shouldn't exist — a 1630 Amsterdam shipping ledger describing this same impossible loss, four centuries before anyone had a word for it.
When Red Died First is a psychological thriller about a family racing to hold onto each other while the world quietly forgets what color used to mean. Perfect for readers of Station Eleven and The Time Traveler's Wife — and for anyone who has ever watched someone they love slip away, one piece at a time.
What would you save, if you knew you were about to lose it?
