Scholl for Assassins

At Bellgrave, no one studies Law, Medicine or Engineering.
At Bellgrave, they teach you how to kill.

Milo Vardek arrives at the academy carrying a surname that weighs too much, questionable aim, and the uncomfortable suspicion that he may have chosen the worst place in the world to discover who he wants to become.

Between classes in anatomy, defence, hunting and contingency, Milo learns that becoming a professional assassin requires far more than knowing how to kill. There are rules to follow, decisions to make, rivals to survive and a ranking that seems determined to remind him just how badly prepared he is.

Surviving first year would already be difficult enough without enemies.

But when students begin to die and mysterious graffiti claims that Bellgrave has spent a hundred years built on a lie, the academy becomes a landscape of suspicion. The deaths appear to be connected to the institution's founders-and to a secret buried deep inside Bellgrave's history.

As the past begins to surface, Milo will have to navigate broken loyalties, hidden bloodlines and a truth someone is willing to kill to expose.

Because in a school where everyone is learning how to murder, there is one question more dangerous than any exam:

How do you tell the assassin from everyone else?
