Kings Row have made it to the final sixteen in the fencing championships, but they have a long way to go before they reach the finals—and Exton, where Nicholas and Seiji both have scores to settle.
Before they can think of that, Nicholas has to face off across the piste with Kyle, who doesn’t know Nicholas’s connection to the Coste family—and who believes Nicholas hasn’t earned his place on Kings Row’s team or as Seiji’s teammate.

Can he pull off a victory and keep Kings Row in the running for championship gold?
C.S. Pacat is the New York Times and USA-Today best-selling author of Dark Rise, the Captive Prince trilogy, and the GLAAD-nominated graphic novels Fence, and has also written for DC Comics. C.S. Pacat has lived in a number of cities, including Tokyo and Perugia, and currently resides and writes in Melbourne.
