Maximilian Leigh Sinclaire is labeled as the greatest heir in the world. The source of his greatness? His surname. In a world where business tycoons rule and heirs are constantly in the spotlight, Max is considered to be at the top. But heavy is the head that wears the crown, and Max knows the title was never his to claim. After meeting an uncle he hasn't seen in years, Max accepts an invitation to J.S. High, a school built for the most powerful heirs in the world. It was the best place to prove his worth--until Max realized that J.S. High isn't what it seems. Ruled by a monarchy that follows a ruthless system, Max must navigate cruel customs, gruesome battles, and betrayals in order to survive. The one who rises to the top becomes king, but with secrets buried within its walls, proving your worth might be the last thing you'll have to worry about.

I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I WANT them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to. The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can't see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple. They're about to find out.
