Synopsis
In the aftermath of the attack on the Shadow League, the crimson flu is rampant at The Beauford School for the Deceptive Arts. Each house is sent to a remote location for the summer to quarantine, and Tom’s house, led by the Corsair, is sent to a private island in the Mediterranean, once owned by the notorious Duke of Nimes.
The duke is said to have hidden a spectacular treasure in one of the caves that pepper the island—as well as a terrifying weapon. And the students are tasked with tracking down his hiding spot. But what is this mysterious treasure? And who are the deadly opponents sabotaging their efforts? The most valuable lesson Tom might learn this summer is: trust no one.
