Rowan

Rowan is the academy's chosen champion. Untouchable. Lethal. You're just his best friend's little sister. The one he barely looks at. Everyone thinks he's arrogant for isolating himself before the trials. They say the fame went to his head. He barely speaks to you. If he does, it's to tell you to stay away from the arena. Here's what nobody knows: His name wasn't the one drawn for the death trials. Yours was. He rigged the blood-seal to take your place.
