Unlike her classmates, Sage Indarra doesn't want to be a model student at the Institution. But it's the only way to survive.
Despite her best efforts, her guise of normalcy is threatened when she gets into a fight at the beginning of the year, bringing down the wrath of the Institution and consequences that could haunt her for the rest of her life-however short that might be.
But they never would have punished her if they'd known where it would lead.
In the depths of the Archives, Sage makes a discovery that could threaten the very fabric of Eprah's society. If anyone finds out what she knows, she'll have to make an impossible choice to prove her loyalty.
