Kings Dominion: Atelier for the Deadly Arts doesn't make killers. It finds them early.
In the rotting heart of 1980s San Francisco, the children of the world's most dangerous families are sent to learn the family trade: how to move unseen, how to strike first, how to survive.
Marcus Lopez arrived with nothing but a dead family and a prayer to stay out of the cops' hands. Nobody remembers when Evangeline Beaumont arrived. Between them: Willie, who everyone believes is dangerous. Billy, who actually might be. Saya, who knows more than she's ever saying.
And a school full of students who will smile at you in the corridor and bury you before breakfast.
None of them trust each other. By the time the year is out, someone will be dead, someone will be running, and Evangeline will have to decide whether the only people she's ever let close are worth the cost of keeping them alive.
