A legacy buried in blood. A girl no one saw coming. They told her it was a second chance. But Crestwood was a cage from the start. Georgia Sutton arrives at Crestwood University expecting a clean slate. What she finds is darker than anything she imagined. A secret society pulling strings from the shadows. Four dangerous boys who weren't supposed to want her. And a legacy soaked in blood-one she never knew she carried. She's not just a girl with a past. She's the piece they've all been waiting for. The pawn. The prize. The war. But Georgia isn't theirs to break. And she's done playing by anyone's rules. Because some legacies were never meant to rise. Too bad she already has.

She wasn't made for survival. She was made to be worshipped-bruised, begged for, broken, and crowned. And after dark... nothing stays sacred

Continued....

Heirs of ruin. Bound by blood. Crowned in vengeance. The war didn't end with her father's fall. That was only the beginning. Georgia Sutton has accepted the truth: she's the last of the Carmichael bloodline, heir to a legacy buried in centuries of power, betrayal, and sacrifice. But surviving that truth is something else entirely. The Lords have spoken. To preserve the bloodline and unlock the full power of the threshold, Georgia must enter a ritual bond with Sebastian-the only other living tie to her lineage. It's not about love. It's about lineage. Legacy. Control. And it changes everything. Because Georgia was already chosen-by four dangerous, brilliant, obsessive boys who would raze the world to keep her. A marriage may bind her by blood... but the bond they've built together is something darker. Deeper. Unbreakable. As whispers of rebellion grow louder and the remaining bloodlines fall under attack, Georgia and her kings must form a new alliance-one born not of tradition, but of fire. A new Serpent order. One that doesn't just fight to preserve the old ways... but to rewrite them. But power this great never comes without sacrifice. And queens don't rise without bleeding first. "For every chapter skipped, Gage will smirk. For every backup saved, Kellen gets harder. For every tear shed, Bash will notice. For every unholy scene reread? Jaxon whispers, 'Again.'"

First they crowned her. Then they lost her. Now the world will burn. She sealed her fate in blood. They promised to protect her. And now- she's gone. On the night she claimed her legacy, Georgia Carmichael Sutton disappeared. No screams. No struggle. Just a single message: The crown was never yours to wear. The girl they crowned with fire and silence? She was never meant to survive the vow. Now the boys who swore their lives to her-Jaxon, Bash, Kellen, and Gage-will stop at nothing to bring her back. They'll burn through enemies. Destroy alliances. Tear apart the very society they once belonged to. Because Georgia wasn't just their Chosen. She was their weakness. Their war. Their blood oath. And someone just turned her into a weapon. But when they find her again-and they will- she won't be the same girl they lost. She'll be the storm the world tried to silence. And this time? She's not coming back to be saved. She's coming back to reign.
