We were always The Four. From our very first day at High Realms.
The four scholarship pupils. Outsiders in a world of power and privilege. And, according to everyone else, we were dangerous.
It would have made our lives a lot easier if Marta had simply pushed our prefect Genevieve out of our bedroom window that day. Certainly, it would have been tragic. She would have died instantly.
But Marta didnโt push her then, or โ if you choose to believe me โ at any other time. If she had, all of what we went through would not have happened.
Iโve told this story as clearly as I could โ as rationally as Iโve been able, in the circumstances, to achieve. I donโt regret what we did. And I would do it all again.
