So when she's offered a chance to attend, she eagerly accepts. The school is wonderful, but old and new enemies confront Isaveth at every turn, and she begins to suspect her scholarship might be more of a trap than a gift.

It's their last chance to catch the corrupt politician who once framed her father for murder. How can Isaveth refuse?
