Absconditi College has no electricity, no internet, and lives on the principle of an eye for an eye when it comes to punishments. Students can learn the art of knife throwing, poison mixing and deception. And who are these students? Descendants of elite families who are preparing to become assassins, spies or master fraudsters.
One of them is a virtuoso of accents - and completely unreliable. The other is a ruthless fighter who wants to exploit November's weaknesses. And there is the boy, with his perplexing gaze and his secrets. November doesn't even understand how he, who has nothing special about him, fits into this picture. But when one of the students is murdered, he must find out who is friend and who is foe before he is framed for murder... or he will be the killer's next victim.
