Summary
Knight Garnet Smith thought the Brotherhood of Steel would be the family she'd never known. The product of a "failed" Enclave experiment, Garnet spent her childhood fighting for survival. Now, thanks to her mentor Paladin Danse, she has a new purpose: protecting the Commonwealth from raiders, the Institute, and countless other dangers.
At least, that's what she expected. Instead, she's trapped in a monotonous cycle of guard duty and exhausting routine. After crossing a line with Elder Maxson and the unexplained disappearance of Danse, she finds herself questioning the very system that brought order to her chaotic life.
When an imposter threatens the Prydwen and Elder Maxson's increasingly contradictory behavior becomes impossible to ignore, Garnet must decide whether she's finally found a home... or simply another institution willing to exploit her to serve its own ends?
