Caspian de Valerius has a simple, comfortable life, and he'll do anything to keep it that way. When a vision reveals he's destined to die in a sacred family ritual, he concocts a brilliant plan: get disowned. But in a family of stoic geniuses, every act of cowardice is mistaken for cunning, and every attempt at disgrace is hailed as a stroke of genius. The more he tries to fail, the higher he rises, until he's trapped by the very glory he never wanted.
