Avarice Academy is one of the best, most prestigious and most expensive schools in the entire world- And when Robin and her twin brother Peregrine are offered scholarships, they can't wait to get on the plane and rush off to Ireland to start. Though, not everything seems to be so perfect when they get there and meet their roommate; Oliver Roscoe- A condescending, seemingly emotionless, ginger-haired teenage boy with an accent and a chip in his shoulder. Unbeknownst to them at first, they just entered a world where arranged marriages are the norm, and family rivalries end in bloodshed. As they navigate this new social construct, they both make new friends and new enemies. Will they realise that a war of power and pride is about to start before it's too late to return to their normal lives? Or will they stand their ground even though they're nameless- And therefore powerless, in a world based on a hierarchy of surnames called the 'Twelve Descendants.' But if they truly were so out of place, how were they the catalyst to set it all off? "Death before dishonour. From power your name has risen. With your crown they worship your ground, If you use you're voice they will listen. But if you leave, you will not be found, If you cut all ties they disappear forever. It is your most important decision." ||SLOW BUILD||

Highest Rank: #11 in Science Fiction I am a seventeen year old named Anonymous. I do not know my real name or my past because my brain was wiped clean. Along with other amnesiac teenagers, I was taken to an academy and all I had to do was sleep, dream, and repeat. The dreams I and the other "Awakened ones" had, were submitted into a dream log in order for us to compete to become "Username 1." Thinking the number 1 was the lowest we could get, we would shed sweat and blood to achieve this title. Becoming Username 1 not only made you a leader of your fellow dreamers, but it also let you move onto the next level of becoming an Elite. *Some chapters will be based on actual dreams* Cover by @lumierutsuki
