Knowledge can be a powerful thing…or…it can be deadly.

Ethan’s friends and family begin a rescue, following every lead to bring him back from a place where no one ever returned. But as he searches for his own way out, fourteen-year-old Ethan discovers there is far more to the school and the city surrounding it than can be seen with a casual glance.

Even in a place of beauty and isolation, he cannot escape the Chancellor’s gaze. Ethan walks an unsteady, worn, and narrow bridge with a seemingly bottomless chasm on either side. Lean too far to the left, and he becomes a prisoner for life. Lean too much to the right, and he becomes an enemy of the most powerful person in his world.
