Dr. Adrian Cross has spent his career studying the way people think, lie, manipulate, and change. Now he's facing a question no diagnosis can answer: Can Nathaniel truly become someone different?

After an attempt to abduct Nathaniel leaves one attacker in custody, Cross begins interrogating Daniel Harker, a seasoned operative who seems increasingly willing to cooperate. His information checks out. His motives don't.

As Harker slowly earns access to the team, he takes an unexpected interest in Nathaniel and asks him the one question no one else has bothered to ask:

What was it like to lose the gift?

While Cross struggles to determine whether Nathaniel can be rehabilitated, a private conversation with The Teacher reveals something extraordinary. Centuries ago, The Teacher drank a mysterious liquid that permanently awakened the gift within him. He doesn't know where the substance originated or what it truly is.

But he knows where it is produced.

For Nathaniel, that could mean something once thought impossible: a chance to regain what he lost.

But someone else is already working to get close to him.

The attack wasn't a failure.

The prisoner wasn't captured by accident.

And the man behind it all doesn't possess the gift.

He wants it.

The Way In continues as Adrian Cross discovers that understanding manipulation doesn't necessarily protect you from it.

Some people want a second chance. Others are waiting to use it.
