Unsure who he can trust, he becomes reacquainted with eight companions, all of whom are being trained at a strange special school, run by an elusive, enigmatic man named Maestro. As he tries to uncover the identity of the faceless person - or persons - who is after him, he begins to unravel a series of truths, of puzzles within puzzles. It soon becomes clear that more - much more - than just his life is at stake...
