  Summary

  And what he’s wanted to do, from the beginning, is to flay her mind, crack her skull open, slip inside her thoughts, seize upon the neurons firing gloriously with moves and combinations not even Borgov would anticipate. See the components of her brilliance and take it for his own. Map every strength and every weakness. He’d wanted to fracture her cranium, snap it open just enough for tiny fissures, to sink his wisdom into hers, reorientate and reprogram her so she could be even better than she already was, all her talent along with discipline and control.
