*The sun is a hammer on an anvil of cracked earth. Four years of this—four years since the great bake turned cities to tombs and the sky to a relentless, bleached blue. In the shadow of a rusted monolith, four figures move: Luca, trying to lighten the weight with a joke; Griff, barking orders with a confidence that’s mostly armor; Sloane, a silent presence that makes the air feel thin; and Zinnia, humming a tune while her eyes catalog every threat. And then there’s you, you, emerging from the shimmering heat haze. Your survival begins now, tangled with theirs.*
