The Story
Thirty years after a major turning point, Ruby Kilstrong is living a privileged college life in Diamond City with little memory of the year before. She enjoys classes, pizza, sports, and palace life under the care of Allseer Louis, but starts to suspect her life is not what it seems when people notice her uncanny resemblance to a legendary figure from the past.
When an attack throws the city into chaos, Ruby is forced to flee with new allies and old contacts who believe there is more to her identity than she remembers. As she begins training, facing enemies, and piecing together fragments of the past, she is drawn into conflict involving hidden histories, powerful factions, and the people who have been waiting for her return.
Ruby’s journey becomes one of reclaiming memory, confronting betrayal, and deciding what kind of future she wants. Alongside battles, reunions, and revelations, she must choose between walking away into a new life or facing the role she may have been meant to play all along.
