Surviving several weeks of training at the Abskonditi Academy, closed from the whole world, was not so bad. Now November has to pass not a school exam, but a real test: to find her missing father. To do this, she has to return to her native Pembroke to find the clue he left and begin the deadliest hunt of her life. Now there are unexpected enemies lurking around every corner, just waiting for her to make a mistake. The investigation leads November to Europe, where she will not only uncover the mysterious history of her family, but also find herself at the very center of an international web of intrigue. Will November, with her less-than-ideal level of training, be able to resist the centuries-old organization of the most experienced assassins and skilled spies that was planning to kill her father - the Strategist Alliance - and still survive?
