But when dozens of classmates spring an assassination plot on Gal, a devastating secret comes to light: Gal is the heir to the Umber Empire.

As they piece together a way to deliver Gal safely to his throne, Ettian finds himself torn in half by an impossible choice. Does he save the man who's won his heart and trust that Gal's goodness could transform the empire? Or does he throw his lot in with the brewing rebellion and fight to take back what's rightfully theirs?

Iba a ser un 2 pelado, pero la remontada argumental del final me ha hecho terminarlo con mejores ojos. Tiene un aprobado pero no llega al 3...
Si lo vas a leer por el rollo entre los dos protagonistas no lo recomiendo: Tienen 0 química y casi que no pasa nada en todo el libro. La caracterización de todos los personajes es, en general, súper pobre.
