I’ve trained for the last six months to join the Covert Council Service. All that stands in my way are my trials, the final test of my training. If I survive, I’ll be a full-fledged agent, able to search for Meglana’s hidden talismans and right the wrongs of my mother's past.
Keeping secrets has become a way of life. I’m the only person who knows a Directorate mole lurks in the Council's midst. With the traitor's identity a mystery, I can't afford to trust anyone, even if it means lying to the people I’ve vowed to protect.
When the mole almost kills me during my trials, I must uncover his identity before he has a chance to finish the job. My search for the traitor will bring the CCS to its knees, but if I fail, my life and the lives of every CCS agent will be forfeit.
