The blade of grass that grows the highest is the first to be cut.

As an unwanted infant, the Emerald Flame didn't have an easy childhood, but he's put all that behind him -- at least until a Conjury investigation draws him back to the place where it all began. According to the rumors, a god walks among the faithful in the remote sanctuary of the Brotherhood of Guise, where the orphans of Kinmore are offered a safe haven. At last, Crimson Smoke will be able to get some answers about Emerald's origins.

But safety is relative, and the deeper Crimson digs into the Brotherhood and their mentor's shadowy past, the more they begin to suspect that the compound was never as safe as it seemed.

In the Brotherhood, the shadows have teeth, the walls have eyes, and even Emerald's memories can't be trusted. Something deadly is waiting in the ancient abbey. Something that no one but Crimson seems to see.

He who stands the closest to the fire is the first to burn.
