‘How can a person be saved when he himself does not realize that he is in danger?’

But Éanna’s story takes a turn when a new student arrives at the school. Síomón Collina is not a student like every other student. He is confident. He is smart. And he wants to be Éanna’s friend. But could he be hiding something? Does he have friendship or trickery to offer? And who are those secretive people, the New Temple?
