Despite being courted by the powerful elite, Charity knows there are things she isn't being told about secret control in a world with no government, and strange uses of its miraculous creations. Her fears are confirmed by a devastating attack on her parents - and the realisation that she and Ursula are next. On the run from a murderous cult, Charity is hurled into a terrifying conspiracy that might just reveal the secret of who she really is. But before she can discover the shocking truth, Charity must face the darkest forces of Diamond City and use all her ingenuity to survive.
