About this book

A gifted liar enters the one room where deceit leaves a visible seam, then learns that wax holds ambition to an unforgiving light.

At Ashgrove College, a hidden atelier preserves the dead in wax under one inviolable rule: no figure may falsify the death it records. Gregory Lang gains entry on a borrowed biography and reveals an unnerving talent for making a counterfeit likeness pass as truth. As the enclave’s private ethic tightens around Gregory, his sole way out is one honest pour — a choice that will strip away everything his deception secured.
