A century ago, humanity traded its horizon for a ceiling and its sunlight for a heartbeat.
In the neon-drenched sanctuary of the Bastion, time is the ultimate currency-and it's being stolen. Adam, a young engineer, is the city's last line of defense: the operator of the Aegis, a legendary shield fueled by the very years of his life. Every attack he deflects ages him in seconds, turning his youth into a sacrificial battery for a civilization that has forgotten how to grow old.
But when a ghost from the past reveals a terrifying truth, Adam realizes the Aegis isn't a protector-it's a siphon. As the Time-Stealers descend and the golden dome begins to crack, Adam must decide: succumb to the machine or shatter the shield to save a world that has been living on borrowed time.
In a world where every second is a battle, how much would you give to see the stars?
