Tick. Tock. The culling approaches and rebellion is in the air. Spring term at Academy Obscura is unbelievable. In addition to my regular classes, there are the Trials. Each student has to face three specially designed ordeals. And after all the rules I've broken? The Trial Master seriously has it in for me. As if that weren't enough to keep me on my toes, several political truths, and betrayals, surface that leave me reeling and questioning who I can trust. This horror just got real-and grew teeth. How will the my three professors and I survive what the puppet masters have in store for us?
