Bastion didn't make Rhea a weapon.
She chose to become one.
In the wake of betrayal and bloodshed, Bastion offers Rhea something it never has before: a place inside its walls-and inside its war. Trained, tested, and watched, she is thrown into brutal survival operations meant to shape her into the city's ultimate defense against the Precursor and the Sovereign's growing influence.
But power has a price.
As factions within Bastion fight to control her, old secrets resurface-proof that the ancient Lumen Court did not fall by accident. Survivors remain. So do their enemies. And someone inside Bastion still answers to a long-buried betrayal.
Caught between becoming what the wasteland demands and holding onto what makes her human, Rhea must decide how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice to keep Bastion standing-before the war she's training for begins without her.
Because ascension isn't about rising.
