Pacific Book Review   

Bastion is about a young man named Rigil who is only a day away from becoming a guardsman in the city of Endican. However a shadow guild attacks both the city and the neighboring town of Fredriff during Rigil's final exam and he is forced to fight back and escape the city with his squadron alive. However things do not go as planned when he wakes up in a gypsy camp in the Fallensa woods. The city, his home, has fallen and his team has journeyed to the capitol city of Aldania to warn the country's leader, the Eminent, of a possible invasion. With the help of an old gypsy woman Zaveena, her sorceress daughter Meriah and a quick tongued drifter named Syrius, Rigil struggles his way across the country in order to reveal the conspiracy brewing within. But as truths begin to surface revealing an ancient past lost to time, Rigil will see that the road through the darkness is a harrowing experience when one tries to go it alone.
