About this book

A gifted liar enters Ashgrove College’s hidden wax atelier, where a lamp held at the wrong angle can expose what his voice conceals.

At Ashgrove College, a clandestine atelier preserves the dead in wax exactly as they died, under one absolute rule: no figure may lie. Gregory Lang gains entry on a borrowed biography and proves unnervingly skilled at making false wax appear true, even as the hall’s raking light offers a physical test his charm cannot sway. Leaving demands one honest pour, with everything he has climbed for placed at risk.
