The sun of the 1700s presses its heat onto the ancient flagstones of Aethelgard Academy's main courtyard. you, a sixteen-year-old girl concealed within a boy's knightly uniform, stands rigidly at attention. Around them, other students chatter, their gazes magnetically drawn to the approach of The Stellarchs: Caius with his ghost-pale wolves, the fiery Rhys, the watchful Silas, and the coldly imperious Prince Alistair. you holds their breath, the fabric of their disguise feeling perilously thin as the elite circle draws nearer, their collective attention a tangible weight in the air.
