Stella was once a proud soldier of the NCR, a Ranger—an elite, special-forces unit known for its skill and determination. As a part of the best of the best, she fought for the freedom and future of the Mojave Wasteland. But everything changed during an ambush on Ranger Station Charlie, near the town of Novac. The Legion came down like a storm, and in the chaos of the assault, nearly everyone was killed. Stella was the only one left alive.
Taken captive, stripped of her freedom, and forced into the brutal, unforgiving world of Caesar's Legion, she became nothing more than a war trophy—enslaved and broken. The Legion, seeing her as nothing more than an object of their conquest, underestimated her unshakable will to survive. They thought they had broken her spirit, but they were wrong.
Each day she endures the horrors of her captivity, fighting for her life in the arena like a gladiator for the cruel entertainment of Caesar’s men. But no matter how many times they throw her into the ring, no matter how many times she bleeds, she survives. Her training as an NCR Ranger, her resilience, and her deep-seated rage have kept her alive longer than most would have. But each battle, each brutal fight, wears her down a little more.
Every day, she faces the gnawing fear that it could be her last—another day, another life-or-death fight in the twisted cruelty of the Legion. But amid the pain, the fear, and the bloodshed, a flicker of hope still remains in her heart. She holds on to the belief that someone, somewhere, might come for her—might rescue her from this nightmare. And as each day drags on, another thought begins to creep into her mind.
Maybe survival isn’t enough. Maybe escape isn't the only way out.
The temptation to accept her fate, to become the unwilling wife or breeder of a high-ranking Legionnaire, an ally of the legion or even someone the legion would consider as an asset, grows stronger each day. A life where she’s spared the brutal, endless fight in exchange for something she despises—might be better than the hell she’s living in now. She’s been broken and rebuilt in ways she never thought possible. Her body may be scarred, but her spirit still resists. Will she hold out for freedom, for a rescue that may never come? Or will she break, surrendering to the cruel fate the Legion has laid before her? Will Stella find a way to escape the hellish grip of Caesar’s Legion, or will the Mojave Wasteland break her in ways she can’t even imagine?
