* SPOILER ALERT*(In case there are spoilers
At Saint Veridian's, an ancient university known for its labyrinthine halls and whispered secrets, power was not simply earned-it was taken. The elite members of the school's secret society, The House of Glass and Thorns, ruled from the shadows, dictating the rise and fall of students like a game of chess.
And at the heart of it all stood Adrian Vale-the society's cold and calculating leader, feared and revered in equal measure.
Enter Elias Moreau, a transfer student with a wicked mind and sharper ambition. He was brilliant, reckless, and unafraid. He wanted power, and he wanted Adrian's throne.
The rivalry between them was instant-like fire meeting ice, a collision of two forces too volatile to coexist. Elias was the first person to ever challenge Adrian's dominion, and Adrian, despite himself, found the game intoxicating. Their battles weren't fought with fists but with whispers in candlelit corridors, veiled threats in Latin inscriptions, and poisoned words hidden beneath polite smiles.
But obsession is a dangerous thing.
Adrian wanted to break Elias, to remind him that Saint Veridian's was his kingdom. Elias wanted to dismantle Adrian, to expose the cracks beneath his carefully constructed faΓ§ade. Yet, the more they tore into each other, the more entangled they became.
Between secret rendezvous and midnight duels, between stolen touches and shattered trust, the lines blurred-hatred twisting into desire, competition morphing into something neither of them dared name.
When a professor mysteriously disappeared, and the House of Glass and Thorns was implicated in a scandal that could ruin them all, Adrian and Elias were forced into an uneasy alliance. But could they truly work together when their greatest temptation was also their most dangerous enemy?
Or was the real battle never for power, but for who would surrender first?
