Each candidate has had to sacrifice what he wants most in the world, and one of them will pay with his life.

Nothing can prepare her to learn one of the candidates is not who he claims to be. There’s a fourth player in the trials, whose presence has been felt but not seen, until now. The mastermind’s sole purpose in life is to save the Community – and her.
