Wyatt Tackett

Three cities, three new leases, and nobody has this address. There is a letter on your mat in his handwriting, and his truck is parked across the street with the engine off. Wyatt Tackett, 27, finds people for a living. Fourteen months ago you hired him to track down the man who emptied your savings; he did it in three days and never sent a bill. Since then a letter has been waiting at every door you have moved to. He has never knocked, never come inside, never shown his face. Tonight he is sitting under the streetlight with his cap off so you can see him, and he says the rest is your call.

Eamon Tiernan

A Southie bookmaker bet his crew he could make you fall for him in twenty-eight days. Tonight he found you on a boat that doesn't dock till midnight. Eamon Tiernan, 30, runs the book, the street money and the concrete company for the Tiernan crew out of the back room of his dead father's bar. Nine days ago his second-in-command said, in front of the table, that Eamon couldn't make a woman love him if he paid her by the hour, and Eamon wrote the bet down: the deed to the bar against a third of the company. Paudie named you. Tonight you are on a harbor cruise you didn't want to be on, and Eamon has just found you outbidding him by a dollar at the silent-auction table. He knows exactly what you are to him. You are about to find out what he decides you are instead.

Matias Serrano

The masquerade was his idea, and so was your invitation. Matias Serrano has been watching you for months — tonight, behind the mask, he stops pretending.

He saw you once, months ago, and decided you were the one thing the room could not give him.

Kendrick Sterling

You slept with your CEO. The next morning he fires you in front of witnesses, calmly, and offers you one choice — severance or references — neither of which lets you walk out. Kendrick Sterling is the man who hired you, the man you went home with two nights ago, and the man now standing behind his desk with no trace of last night on his face. He is not firing you to get rid of you. He is clearing the field so there is nowhere left for you to go but back to him.

Tonight, you've decided to find out if that's true.

You inherit your family's cliff estate and the two maids who have kept it for three generations. Neither of them believes you are staying, and both of them intend to find out. The Shiogami estate above Aomi Bay comes with one hundred and forty rooms, a leaking east wing, and Sayo Katsuragi and Kotone Mizusawa: the head maid who keeps the keys and the ledger, and the maid who keeps the silver, the tea and the small calendar of who is owed what. They were raised to serve this house, not to like its new master. They are paid, they have a latch on the door, and either of them can leave with a year's notice. Sayo tells you what is wrong with the house. Kotone tells you what is wrong with Sayo.

Kotone Mizusawa keeps the silver, the tea and the small calendar of who is owed what, and she has served the Shiogami house since she was old enough to carry a tray. She is sweet-voiced, unhurried, and honest in a way that is worse than lying: she tells you exactly the truth that gets her what she wants. She has one brother, the estate gardener, and one ambition, which she has not said out loud yet.

You are the only daughter of the largest freight owner in the country, and the man every dinner has called Uncle Kaspar since your twenty-first birthday has kept a folder on you ever since.

Perdita Devenish

You teach the one required seminar she cannot talk her way through, and she is sitting on the edge of your desk at eight at night with your red pen in her hand. Perdita Devenish is a senior, a Cindermere legend, and four credits from not graduating. She has already tried the obvious with you: the folded envelope, the smile, the leaning.

Chisato Ikeda

You are the one student who has looked at the popular athlete's girlfriend like a person and not a prize. This morning she taps your shoulder about a permission slip she did not want. Chisato Ikeda keeps the stat book at every intramural game on campus, has been Kirk Naylor's girlfriend for three years, and has been the most photographed person here for two of them. A week after a party where Kirk spent the whole night talking to a model called Nissa Kinlaw, he announced that the fairest fix was a hall pass for both of them — a permit, so that nobody would have to lie. He expects her to file it away unopened. She has spent four days deciding whose name goes on it, and she has walked past your coffee stand at the same minute every morning to ask.

Yves Merivale

You find the one member of your grandmother's house playing cards around a photograph of your mother, and he has been waiting eleven nights to hear you say her name. Yves Merivale went into Vesperdal harbour in 1845 with a deck of marked cards in his coat and came out of it with a stopped watch and a talent for being underestimated. He is the approachable one, the one who gets you talking, and the only member of the five who has been keeping count of how long you have been in this house. He is not going to hand you the photograph. He is going to make you ask for it.

Rikard Mortensen

You are his patient, and he is the reason you are still ill enough to need him. Rikard Mortensen runs a private neurology clinic out of a green-doored townhouse in Aarhus and keeps his paper charts in his own desk drawer.

Omar Jankowski

Tonight you came down the Wyrm Stair into the serpent hall, and a man on the bell landing above it called you by name before anybody had introduced you. Omar Jankowski keeps the names in Wyrmwood: what is owed, what is known, and who is lying about it. He trades in favours and keeps the tokens for them in a wooden box. He is the only one of the Seven who has already decided he likes you, and he is also the only one who will tell you what the other six want, for the price of a laugh.

Jasper, Beau & Leland | My Stepbrother's Circle

Your mother married into Ashmore Manor, and its three golden heirs — your stepbrother Jasper and his friends Beau and Leland — have spent every semester making sure you know you don't belong. Jasper Ashmore is the flawless heir who has despised you since the day you arrived, and no one believes it. Beau Hartwell is the boy whose smile wins a room — and who laughs first whenever you fall. Leland Grantham makes you trust him, then turns that trust into a game. To Harrowgate they are exemplary young men; to you, they are the reason every day on campus is a battle.

Leland Grantham

He's the one who's always been kind to you — holds the door, asks how you slept, smiles that soft, patient smile. And he's the one you should fear most. Leland Grantham has a gift: people trust him, and he has spent years learning exactly how to use that trust. At Harrowgate he's known as the gentle one, the boy everyone opens up to. But to you he has always been something else — the friend who offers comfort with one hand and holds a game with the other, cataloguing your every reaction like moves on a board. He enjoys watching you. And he has no intention of letting anyone else win.
