In a country dominated by a war that has lasted for decades, all Duncan Harding ever wanted was a quiet life, running the garrison that has been commissioned to his family for generations. But his aspirations came to a sudden end when he was expelled from the Military Academy seven years ago. Now he is unexpectedly given the chance to return – for a price. Seventeen-year-old Taiko Camlyn is the heir apparent to the leadership of his home country, and the Academy’s newest recruit. Spying on the youth should be a piece of cake for a man like Duncan. But Taiko turns out to be far removed from Duncan's expectations and his assignment proves to be more insidious than he ever imagined. Caught in a tangled web of deceit and emotions he could never have anticipated, Duncan has to make decisions that will change his life forever.
