Overview

Welcome to Ouroboros, a gleaming neon metropolis where intimacy has a price tag and the human soul is just another data point. In this world, Valentine's Day has been rebranded as ""Sex Day,"" a high-stakes harvest festival for the libido, controlled by the omnipresent Heart-Hub Corporation. Here, connection is measured in ""Sync-Scores,"" and passion is delivered via subscription-based neural links. Arthur Penhaligon is a rounding error in the city's perfect data. A fifty-two-year-old florist with dirt under his fingernails and a memory he refuses to delete, he stocks the one thing the corporate machines can't optimize: reality. While the world outside pulses with synthetic pheromones and ""Peak Performance Kits,"" Arthur wages a quiet war from his crumbling shop, The Stem. His weapons are not gadgets, but real roses that wither and handwritten notes that speak of shared silence, the ache of loss, and the patience of true love. When Arthur's small acts of tenderness trigger a ""Cold Spot"" in the city's heat maps, he catches the eye of Julian Vane, the high priest of pleasure and CEO of Heart-Hub. To Vane, Arthur is a virus; to the citizens of Ouroboros, he is a flickering light in a cold, electric dark. Joined by Elena Thorne-a high-level corporate architect who has begun to choke on the digital lies she helped create-Arthur must race against the ""Great Sync,"" a final update that threatens to erase the city's emotional history forever. The Day Love Was Sold is a cinematic, suspenseful, and deeply moving critique of modern Valentine culture. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt that a ""like"" is not a look, and that a heart cannot be programmed. In a city where everything is for sale, Arthur Penhaligon is about to prove that tenderness is the only thing worth more than gold.
