Synopsis
Master impostor assumes identity of secretive professor, navigating deadly factions at elite academy.
No one knows his true name or face, but he has gained global notoriety under many aliases—from Gerrard to Machiavelli. His newest identity is that of Ludger Cherish, a young and talented professor at the prestigious Ceoren Academy. However, what seems like an easy teaching job turns out to be anything but. The original Ludger Cherish was far more than he appeared, entangled in a secret society with unclear motives. Doing whatever it takes to protect his identity, the man of many faces must walk a tightrope between two opposing groups that would kill him at the slightest slip-up.
