At Garrison Military Academy, the young royals grow their strength and avoid their executioners. When things start to fall into a pleasant routine, Liora sees the chance for a dangerously normal life.
But nothing good can last.
Mysterious and monstrous murders begin to crop up in the surrounding village. Liora doesn’t know if they’re related to her, or if her family has simply walked from one horrible tragedy to another, but she does know one thing; she cannot sit idly by. She must discover who is at the heart of these grisly deaths and put a stop to it.
