Léo Martin was once a student there, but lost his passion for the grand jeu following a violent tragedy.

Montverre has changed since he studied there, even allowing a woman, Claire Dryden, to serve in the grand jeu’s highest office of Magister Ludi.

And as the legendary Midsummer Game, the climax of the year, draws closer, secrets are whispering in the walls…
