The Betrayals (Large Print)

At the ancient and elite academy of Montvere, society's best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu - the great game - a mysterious competition that combines music, art, math, poetry, and philosophy. Leo Martin once excelled at Montverre but lost his passion for scholarly pursuits after a violent tragedy. He turned to politics instead and became a rising star in the ruling party, until a small act of conscience cost him his career. Now he has been exiled back to Montverre, his fate uncertain.

But this rarefied world of learning that he once loved isn't the same place Leo remembers. Once the exclusive bastion of men, Montverre's most prestigious post is now held by a woman: Claire Dryden, the head of the great game. Leo feels a mysterious, eerily familiar connection to her, though he's sure they've never met before.

As the legendary Midsummer Game approaches - the climax of the academy's year - long-buried secrets rise to the surface and centuries-old traditions are shockingly overturned.
