The year is 1979, and all Nicholas Forsythe wants to do is enjoy his last few terms of boarding school before his brutish father attempts to force him into the cold, stiff-upper-lipped life of an English businessman. His two best friends, Cris and Terry, are more than happy to help encourage him to live his own life,
but at the same time, Nick suspects they have a secret they're hiding from him.

When a turbulent Guy Fawkes night separates the three of them, Nick begins to uncover their secrets, and finds himself on a path which will lead him to a future he would never have predicted. With all the excitement and heart of the first two Lines of Power novels, let the Proper Bearing take you on a journey which delves deeper into the workings of the Organization and follows the freeing of a young man's soul.
