The King has fallen. The war has begun. He came back for the truth. He didn't come back for the boy who broke him. Ethan Calloway returned to Blackthorn Academy with an envelope that could burn his father's killers to the ground. He came back for evidence. For justice. For a truth his family has paid for in silence for six years. He did not come back for Wren Prescott. But Wren is waiting. Colder than before. More careful. More dangerous. The boy who broke him in the fall has spent the winter learning a new discipline—how to be worthy of a second chance he has no right to ask for. What Ethan doesn't know is that Wren has three months. A father tightening the leash. A secret society taking its last vote. A Ledger hidden in a chapel that holds every Prescott signature for a century—and the names of the men who buried James Calloway. Ethan can use Wren to find the truth. Wren can use Ethan to find a reason to survive his father. Neither of them can stop wanting what the other one is.
