Surrounded by enemies and mistrust, she must navigate a treacherous maze of intrigue and danger while uncovering the dark secrets of her own family and the university itself. And then there's the vindictive leader of the Legacy group, with piercing emerald eyes, whose magnetic pull she can't resist even as he pushes her away, determined to drive her out of Altair at any cost. The stakes are high and the consequences deadly as Alex fights to survive in this cutthroat world of rivalry and revenge.
