Dimitri, Francesco: The Dark Side of the Sky

It's been labelled a doomsday cult, but the Bastion might be
humanity's last hope. Amidst all the lies and chaos, come hear their
true story, in their own words.
On the rural coast of Puglia, Italy, Becca and Ric run the Bastion,
offering solace and a home for lost souls. Each year they welcome
new members to join the Open Feast, where they teach them to
release their burdens and create a better world, in a journey of selfdiscovery
and spiritual teachings.
But the Bastion has secrets. The Bastion has a destiny. Deep in the
Inner Pinewood, a place of real magic and beauty, they are all that
stands against the dark forces that would tear the sky wide open
And what of those who call Becca and Ric liars? Cult leaders and
con artists? What of those who tried to leave the Bastion? As it
becomes increasingly difficult to tell truth from fiction, who can you
trust to save us all?
