"Aerin Renning is shocked to find she has earned a place at the most exclusive school in the universe. Aerin excels at Academy 7 in all but debate, where Dane Madousin—son of one of the most powerful men in the Alliance— consistently outtalks her. Fortunately Aerin consistently outwits him at sparring. They are at the top of their class until Dane jeopardizes everything and Aerin is unintentionally dragged down with him. When the pair is given a joint punishment, an unexpected friendship—and romance—begins to form. But Dane and Aerin both harbor dangerous secrets, and the two are linked in ways neither of them could ever have imagined..." (Description from Amazon)
Both Aerin and Dane are deep, three-dimensional characters. It's fun watching them interact. There wasn't as much romance as I would have liked, but the rest of the story made up for that. Osterlund has a great, descriptive writing style. This book has a great mystery. I can't wait to read more of Osterlund's work.
