If your life was based on a lie, would you risk it all to tell the truth?
At Montverre, an ancient and elite academy hidden high in the mountains, societyās best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeuāthe great gameāan arcane and mysterious competition that combines music, art, math, poetry, and philosophy. LĆ©o 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 rarified world of learning LĆ©o once loved is not the same place he remembers. Once the exclusive bastion of men, Montverreās most prestigious post is now held by a woman: Claire Dryden, also known as the Magister Ludi, the head of the great game. At first, LĆ©o feels an odd attraction to the magisterāa mysterious, eerily familiar connectionāthough heās sure theyāve never met before.
As the legendary Midsummer Game approachesāthe climax of the academyās yearālong-buried secrets rise to the surface and centuries-old traditions are shockingly overturned.
A highly imaginative and intricately crafted literary epic, The BetrayalsĀ confirms Bridget Collins as one of the most inventive and exquisite new voices in speculative fiction.
