They were trained to break me. I was born to make them kneel.
They took the wrong girl.
Dragged from my dead-end life to St. Ashwyn's-an elite institution run by a secret society-I'm supposed to be another sacrifice in their twisted games. Twelve ritualistic trials designed to strip away everything I am.
Four heirs from the most powerful families, bred to destroy:
The Enforcer - Silent violence wrapped in black gloves.
The Broker - Silver tongue hiding predator's teeth.
The Architect - Cold brilliance designing my cage.
The Shadow - Watching. Always watching.
But I'm not shattering like I should.
Every ritual they force on me. Every stone I earn. Every crack I put in their perfect control-I'm getting stronger while they're falling apart.
Someone's leaving me clues in the dark. Someone wants me to fight back.
And these boys who think they're breaking me?
They're about to learn they picked the wrong fucking prey.
