Publisher's Notes
Sang Sorenson dreams of what life might be like for her in the Academy, but joining isn't as easy as simply writing an exam or passing an interview. She'll need to pull the team together to get them on her side in order for it to work, which is harder than it sounds. The boys will do anything to protect her, which, for some, means keeping her out.

But that’s not all that’s going on in Sang’s complicated life. After a shocking revelation, Gabriel Coleman splinters himself off from everyone, avoiding not just his Academy team, but even going so far as to avoid Sang. Desperate to bring him back and get him on her side, Sang digs deep into his past to try to discover a way to reach out to him.

His truth is riddled with tragic events, but with the help of Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Luke and North, she might be able to reach out to him before envy and despair drag him too far down to be saved.

Quotes

 * "All emotions have an opposite. Anger and sadness are two of the same. When someone is angry, when they calm down you may discover they were actually sad about some part of their life. Do you know what the opposite of envy is? ... It's a lack of confidence, self esteem. ... Do you know what the other side of confidence is? ... It's goodwill. Once someone is confident in their own abilities, they no longer turn a jealous eye, envious of others. Instead they see others as either people to bolster, to help along, or those who can help them when needed. They become supportive." ~ Owen Blackbourne to Sang Sorensonundefined.
