I am not Rua Lasair. But inside the cold stone walls of Lasair Manor, that's exactly who I have to be.
Infiltrate the enemy. Gather their secrets. Report back to the man who put me here. If I get caught, I die.
The plan did not account for him. The boy from my hallucinations.
Lorcan Lasair sees through me the moment I walk through the door. His first words aren't a greeting-they're a threat delivered with a knife to my throat.
He knows I'm an impostor. But he hasn't blown my cover. He's having too much fun with it.
He taunts me. Bullies me. Punishes me. And every day he keeps my secret, he demands more in return.
I should hate him. But I'm starting to crave him.
Deargán is watching, too. He follows me from the manor's stone corridors to Ravenwood's lecture halls so I never forget why I'm here.
To destroy Lorcan.
The question haunting me isn't whether he will expose me.
It's whether I can betray someone who might be worth saving.
