She magically changes her letter of rejection to one of acceptance. While leaving for the university, he discusses with his grandfather Pete Morton how his mother Chloe Morton is dead because of his father Edward. He meets his roommate Clayton Turner. He sees a blue rose in the hands of a neighbour Weston Miller, when he asks about it they get into a fight stopped by Alyssa Drake, the university tour guide. Next day Weston is mysteriously killed. Jack is approached by Detective Hayashi and Vera, who inquire him. After they leave, he finds a blue rose and a letter on his bed. Upon reaching the location mentioned in the letter, he meets six other Neophytes (pledges) including Amir, Drea and Todd. Two masked people arrive and explain they have to find a coin based upon a clue within 24 hours and only three of them will be selected. Jack identifies one of them as Alyssa, she later denies it but secretly helps her by giving hints. Next day Jack attends his ethics class with professor Eric Clarke. Jack finds the coin in a hut and proceeds to next round, while Todd is rejected and made to forget about all of it. Amir also proceeds further. Later Jack and Amir find Drea injured with wounds on her neck, and she succumbs. Jack follows another Order member Kyle into a house where he finds Vera using necromancy on Drea to identify her killer. Jack tells this to Pete, who is thrilled. Jack magically receives a locket for protection, and a fake task by Kyle to dig his mother's grave which he plans to use to blackmail Jack.
