Summary

Alec's woes have prompted him to leave Kings Keep Academy and return home to the family farm. In his absence, Rebecca takes charge of dealing with Rod's increasingly bizarre behaviour.

The girls collectively solve the riddle of Rod's first painting, but his second artwork results in a school fire.

A field trip to the Blue Mountains puts Minh in danger, and Mitchell's well-intentioned concern for Rod twice makes him run foul of an angry Damon.

Two shocking revelations—one from his father, another from Mr. Greyshatter—leave Alec's world turned upside down and make him wonder who he really is.
