About this book
The dead are cast exactly as they died—but Gregory Lang, a scholarship liar inside Ashgrove College’s secret atelier, has learned to make wax deceive.
Ashgrove College conceals an atelier where artisans cast the dead in wax, preserving each final detail under one uncompromising rule: a figure may never lie. Gregory Lang enters on a borrowed biography and proves unnervingly skilled at making false wax look true, even when angled light exposes every seam and thumbprint. To escape the private world that rewards his talent, Gregory must attempt one honest pour—and surrender everything his deception secured.
