When Sable Quinn transfers to Blackwick—the most dangerous “prestige” campus in the country —a raven-feather seal slides beneath her door and a secret society whispers her name. One midnight dare ignites four Cassian, the untouchable billionaire heir in a tailored crown ; Ezra, the wicked-smart archivist who praises like prayer ; Ronan, the silent protector with a jaw carved for orders and oaths ; and Lucian, the velvet-voiced strategist who teaches stop and makes it sacred .
Rituals become rules. Rules become heat. And heat becomes a war for the soul of the campus—fought with consent, cunning, and kisses that taste like power. As a rival cult stirs riots and banners burn , Sable refuses to choose. This is a reverse harem, why-choose romance where the crown stays open and the queen writes the terms.
