For fans of the Belladonna trilogy and newcomers alike: Cal Avarium eats alone. Cal Avarium is always on time. Cal Avarium can run a five-minute mile. On paper, she's the perfect trainee—except she murdered a boy and got away with it. When sabotage hits her military boarding school, innocent students are kicked off the program. Each incident gets worse, and everyone blames the obvious. But the more Evaris watches her roommate, the less it makes sense. If Avarium isn't the culprit, someone even more ruthless is setting her up. And Evaris might be onto them.
