Approaching planes are gunned down, refugees shot on sight. Until one man, Adam Forde, rescues a girl from the sea. Anaximander, a young Academy student, is put through a gruelling exam. Her special subject: the life of Adam Forde, her long-dead hero. What secrets has she discovered and what is her own surprising link to Adam?
