The Bastion is a high-octane steampunk thriller—equal parts prison break, political conspiracy, and survival story. Perfect for fans of The Lies of Locke Lamora, Shawshank Redemption, and Dishonored.
Gasmere is a city drowning in smoke and secrets. Its streets run rampant with crime, its factories grind down the poor, and its governing Foundry cling to power with iron fists. Above it all looms The Bastion—a floating prison fortress built from and powered by Aetherium, the mysterious material that drives the city itself. It fuels the prison’s walls, lights the streets, powers carriages and factories, and even flows through medicine that keeps the sick alive. It’s intoxicating, addictive, and deadly in equal measure, an enigma science struggles to understand.
Beris is a professional prison breaker—a smuggler who slips through walls others can’t and gives the falesly accused the freedom they deserve. He doesn’t fight wars or chase glory; he gets people out of impossible places.
But when he’s hired to break into the Bastion itself to free the most infamous terrorist in Gasmere’s history, Beris discovers his lifelong partner has been imprisoned there too—turning the job into a choice between the mission and the only person he’s ever trusted.
What begins as a job for gold becomes a deadly wager of betrayal and survival, where every choice cuts deeper and escape comes at a price.
There is no chosen one.
No magic to undo what’s been broken.
Only a man, a prison, and a system built to kill.
