<p>“An intensely gripping, thrilling and darkly beautiful debut. I was hooked.” —Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author </p><p>We were always The Four. From our very first day at High Realms.</p><p>The four scholarship pupils. Outsiders in a world of power and privilege. And, according to everyone else, we were dangerous.</p><p>It would have made our lives a lot easier if Marta had simply pushed our prefect Genevieve out of our bedroom window that day. Certainly, it would have been tragic. She would have died instantly.</p><p>But Marta didn’t push her then, or – if you choose to believe me – at any other time. If she had, all of what we went through would not have happened.</p><p>I’ve told this story as clearly as I could – as rationally as I’ve been able, in the circumstances, to achieve. I don’t regret what we did. And I would do it all again.</p><div><br></div>
