The university offers everything James desires--except the chance to work on a human cadaver. For that, he must join one of the private schools in Surgeon's Square, at a cost he cannot afford. In desperation, he strikes a deal with Aneurin \"Nye\" MacKinnon, a dashing young dissectionist with an artist's eye for anatomy and a reckless passion for knowledge.
