On - vysokomernyy drakoniy gonshchik i glavnyy konkurent, kotoryy stoit mezhdu ney i zavetnoy stipendiyey. A teper' yeshchyo i tot, kogo ona sluchayno spasla ot vernoy smerti. Kogda Dzheyms, vospol'zovavshis' svyazyami, dobivayetsya mesta stazhera v zapovednike sem'i Uolsh, on pereyezzhayet k Farren. Na cherdak. Na tri mesyatsa. Roditeli uvereny: eto otlichnaya vozmozhnost' podruzhit'sya. Farren uverena: eto katastrofa. Potomu chto nenavidet' sopernika legko. A nenavidet' parnya, kotoryy poit yeye chayem po utram i smotrit tak, budto znayet o ney chto-to vazhnoye, - kuda slozhneye. U neye yest' sekret, sposobnyy razrushit' yeye budushcheye. U nego - chuvstva, kotoryye on boyalsya priznat'. I yesli oni ne nauchatsya doveryat' drug drugu, to poteryayut vse.
