Description
At Barrington University, power isn’t earned.
It’s taken.
Behind the elite campus reputation hides The Lords, a secret society made up of the most powerful and dangerous men in the world. They live by one rule: loyalty above everything. Violence, power, and control are the price they pay to remain untouchable.
And during their senior year, each Lord is given something else.
A chosen one.
Women selected to belong to them—body, mind, and soul.
For the narrator, life has always been controlled by wealth, expectations, and family obligations. Growing up rich never meant freedom. Every decision had already been made long before she had the chance to choose her own path.
Until Ryat Alexander Archer enters her life.
Dark, powerful, and completely ruthless, Ryat offers her something she’s never had before: a choice. A chance to escape the life planned for her.
So she chooses him.
Or at least, she believes she does.
Because the deeper she falls into the Lords’ brutal world, the more she realizes the truth: nothing about this society is voluntary. Everything is manipulation, power, and survival.
And once you belong to the Lords…
The only way out may be death.
