Charles is one of the top students at Oxford. He's smart, diligent, and has a foster sister who turns into teachers when he doesn't get good marks to give him a high grade. Ah, life's good. That's when he spots Ash Cyrus Grey, a transfer student from Spain who's thought of an outcast. Things like this don't normally pique his interest. But when he feels her mind awake and running at night, he can't help but try and find out what she's up to.
