    Summary

    The summer before his last year in school Alex Forbes is sent on trip across the U.K and some parts of Europe accumulating skills in which his father says are necessary.

    He's two weeks in Wales when he's told he will be heading to Scotland and this time he wouldn't be without company.

    Some of children of his father's society are there, all in this one Manor without any parental supervision — a recipe for disaster.

    Alex is given little choice with regards to befriending these teenagers. They are all sort of odd in their own way, one in particular — a boy with chilling, ice blue eyes, a brooding frown and a morbid fascination for all things dead.

    It is their fathers wishes they become friends, allies.

    Joining the House of Spades Alex is given two choices either bend or break to fit the role given by Nigel Colbie — the Jack of Spades.
