Determined to crush the Order of the Stag once and for all, and in a desperate last throw of the dice, Greer walks willingly into the lion's den by accepting a sinister invitation to Castle McLeod, a Scottish stately home in the Isle of Skye. Greer will be aided and kept safe by Shafeen and Nel, and the enigmatic Abbot Ridley. Plus, of course, Henry de Warlencourt, who will accompany her and insists he has changed his colours. But as their darkly fraught romance evolves, can Greer trust him as she places her life in his hands?

After the dramatic events of the last few weeks, Greer Macdonald is trying to concentrate on her A levels. Stuck for a play to direct for her drama exam, she gets help from an unexpected quarter...A priceless lost play, buried by time, is pushed under her door. It is Ben Jonson's The Isle of Dogs, a play considered so dangerous in Elizabethan times that every copy was burned...except one. As the students begin to rehearse, events become increasingly dark and strange and they lead Greer back to where she never thought she would return - Longcross Hall.

It is the autumn term, and Greer MacDonald is struggling to settle into the sixth form at the exclusive St. Aidan the Great boarding school, known to its privileged pupils as S.T.A.G.S. To her surprise Greer receives a mysterious invitation with three words embossed upon on it: huntin' shootin' fishin' - an invitation to spend the half-term weekend at the country manor of Henry de Warlencourt, the most popular and wealthy boy at S.T.A.G.S.

Greer has just recovered from her terrifying experience during the S.T.A.G.S. play. Was she really put on trial by the sinister Dark Order of the Grand Stag? Or was it purely her overheated imagination? The imprint of an M for murderer that has appeared on her thumb, though, is puzzling but incomplete evidence.... Meanwhile Ty is staying on at Longcross Manor and Greer, Nel and Shafeen are increasingly worried for her safety. When Ty sends a cryptic message directing them to Cumberland Place, the de Warlencourts' palatial home in London, they decide to risk a visit.

Ich heiße Pandora und anscheinend bin ich ein Titan. Und ich hatte nicht die geringste Ahnung. Als ich meine Mutter endlich zum ersten Mal treffe, erzählt sie mir, dass ich vom allmächtigen Titanen Oceanus abstamme, verschleppt mich zum Grund des Meeres und setzt mich an der Olympus-Akademie ab, damit ich lerne, meine Kräfte einzusetzen. Und Junge, ein paar Dinge hat sie wohl vergessen zu erwähnen. Anscheinend bin ich, neben dem wunderschönen und mysteriösen Ikarus, der einzige Titan an der Akademie. Alle anderen sind Olympier. Und Zeus, der Herr des Olymps, hasst Titanen. Er wird alles tun, um uns von der Akademie zu vertreiben.
