Summary
Kira never expected freedom to feel like dying.
One moment she’s a Vault dweller fleeing the only home she’s ever known; the next, she’s alone in the wasteland with a mission she barely understands and no idea how to survive. The Commonwealth is cruel, loud, unpredictable—everything she was never prepared for.
She just has to last long enough to come back and burn Vault 89 to the ground.
But when she stumbles into Goodneighbor, help comes in the form of a sarcastic, sharp-eyed hired gun who clearly wants nothing to do with her. MacCready is trouble with a rifle and already annoyed by her very existence. She’s weird. She’s naïve. She jumps at loud noises and flinches when people get too close - typical vaultie.
And yet… something about her makes him look twice.
As they’re pulled from one firefight to the next, Kira’s past refuses to stay buried—and the Commonwealth learns there's a price on her head high enough to spark a hunting season.
Trust is optional. Survival is not.
And somewhere along the way, hating each other stops being the plan.A slow-burn, trauma-informed adventure full of danger, tenderness, and the kind of intimacy only the wasteland can forge.
