Elias is a soldier. He has been trained at the Blackcliff Military Academy to keep the Scholars in order. He and his best friend, Helene, know what is expected of them as Martials, and that once they graduate in a few days, they will make sure that the Scholars remain under their rule. They wear Masks that have adhered to their faces so they become what the Emperors expects.
Laia is a Scholar. The Masks killed her parents and her grandparents. She knows they have her brother in a jail somewhere, and she has vowed to break him free no matter what the cost. She must infiltrate the Blackcliff Military Academy to find out where her brother has been taken. This means she must be the slave of the Commandant. The last two people who were her personal slaves are now dead. Before they died, they were horribly disfigured. Will Laia survive long enough to find her brother?
Elias and Laia will soon discover that their lives will be become intertwined. The future of the empire is at stake, and the Augurs have predicted a leader will emerge that will forever change the landscape of the world as they know it. Will that leader be Elias? Laia?
There are many, many unanswered questions at the end of this book, therefore, I am looking forward to book 2 of the series. What is their Destiny?
