In New Bastion, light doesn't reach everyone.
By day, Cain is just a construction worker-quiet, disciplined, invisible.
By night, the city whispers a different name: the Ghost.
When cults worship the Rift and the Directorate rewrites truth like paperwork, restraint becomes the only law Cain trusts. But restraint doesn't last forever-especially when the past still has teeth.
A lieutenant on forced "vacation" starts searching for the man who vanished.
A Consortium captain watches the city like a chessboard.
And somewhere beyond the walls, an old legend laughs at the news, keeping a boy alive with a whistle and a warning.
Because if Cain's buried name is ever spoken...
he won't be the hunter anymore.
He'll be the one they hunt.
