=Trust is a luxury. Love is a risk. Survival is everything...

Alexandra Prescott was never meant to last at Altair University. But despite the relentless cruelty of the Legacy families and the looming shadow of her father's disgrace, she remains-and now, the game has changed.

Her enemies are watching, waiting for her to falter. The Altair Games draw closer, a brutal tradition drenched in blood and legacy, but Alex refuses to play by their rules. Whispers echo through the gothic halls, and truths long buried begin to stir-unsettling, incomplete, and dangerous in the wrong hands.

And then there's Bishop Ashbourne.

Still dangerous. Still maddening. Still the boy who tried to break her-now the one standing too close, burning too bright. Their bond deepens even as the walls between them begin to crumble, and what started as a war is starting to feel like something else entirely.

But trust is a weapon at Altair.

And loving someone here? That might be the most dangerous move of all.
