Summary: Pavel Chekov has a plan to join the most prestigious fraternity at the Imperial Academy. Despite the brothers’ rigorous system of testing new recruits, Chekov is determined to prove himself worthy, no matter the cost.
He’d begun unpacking his books-Sun Tsu’s The Art of War, Machiavelli’s The Prince, Fyedorovna’s latest treatise on modern torture methods-when a shadow darkened his doorway. Chekov turned to face the intruder, casually dropping his hand to within easy reach of his knife.
