博客來In the ruins of a shattered Earth, ash storms don’t just kill-they decide.
Lieutenant Rhea Kade leads elite Legion escort teams across the Ashline, a network of lethal storm corridors separating the last surviving city-states. Her job is simple: keep the convoy moving, keep her squad alive, and never ask why certain missions are classified.
Until one of them answers back.
When a sealed artifact known only as the Key begins to react to human movement, the storms shift with purpose-and every faction takes notice. City-states see a weapon. Security forces see leverage. And anyone who learns the truth becomes a liability.
As escorts turn into hunts and orders become execution warrants, Rhea is forced to choose between obedience and survival. Because once the system wakes, there is no neutral ground-and no clean way out.
