Más información sobre el libro

An intricate and spellbinding literary epic brimming with enchantment, mystery, and dark secrets from the acclaimed author of a #1 international bestseller. If your life was based on a lie, would you risk everything to reveal the truth? At Montverre, an ancient academy hidden in the mountains, society's brightest are trained for the grand jeu—a mysterious competition blending music, art, math, poetry, and philosophy. Léo Martin once thrived at Montverre but lost his passion after a violent tragedy, turning to politics where he became a rising star until a small act of conscience cost him his career. Now exiled back to Montverre, he finds the world he loved has changed. Once a bastion for men, the academy's prestigious post is now held by Claire Dryden, the Magister Ludi, head of the great game. Léo feels an odd attraction to her, sensing a mysterious connection despite having never met. As the legendary Midsummer Game approaches, long-buried secrets emerge, and centuries-old traditions are overturned. This imaginative and intricately crafted tale confirms the author as one of the most inventive voices in speculative fiction.
