Born into great wealth, she was a princess of the highest pedigree\u2013until she was cut off by the leader of the Akagami Foundation. For the last five years, she\u2019s lived on Feather Island with her maids. But she hasn\u2019t been alone. She has invited the best minds Japan has to offer to come and stay with her.\n\nAnd so nineteen-year-old college student Ii-chan and his best friend, computer genius Kunagisa Tomo, find themselves as Iria\u2019s guests at her elaborate mansion. Surrounded by fascinating women\u2013a chef, a fortune-teller, a scholar, and an artist, not to mention his own friend Tomo\u2013Ii-chan is feeling a little overmatched intellectually. But the sudden discovery of a grisly murder sends the island into shock. And Ii-chan discovers that he does possess a bit of genius: the ability to discover what is real and what is fake\u2026 who is who they claim to be\u2013and who is a killer.\n",
