The Academy: Ghost Bird series in a different look at the very beginning. Read Introductions with a whole new perspective--the boys'.

Mr. Blackbourne had never seen his team in such disarray as of this past week. Incomplete tasks. Willing to give up Academy jobs and favors they desperately needed. Not only were the other members of his Academy team completely distracted, they were keeping secrets.

Among a team like theirs, secrets were unacceptable. 

And when Dr. Green finally introduced him to the core of their distraction, a young woman with haunted green eyes...

Devastatingly beautiful. Extraordinarily kind.

And something terribly wrong that no one wanted to name, but it felt all too familiar.

Within moments of meeting Sang, priorities were already shifting, for the team, for himself. Walking out on jobs. Making room for her in their already busy schedules.

Mr. Blackbourne should have known their fates were sealed the moment Miss Sorenson walked in-- including his own.
