The Blood Ball

Beatrice Oaks has been chosen as one of the 25 most suitable women in Bloodbath to have a chance at a courtship with his Grace, Rupert Bloodington, and a possible marriage. Any other girl would be terrified, mortified at the thought of undergoing the imfamous Blood Ball in order to even gain the courtship. Much like her sister, Blair, who has also been chosen. But not Beatrice, in fact, she could care less about the courtship. Her eyes are on a much bigger prize: being recruited for the Blood Army. Sure, she knows no one has ever recruited from the games, but she'd be happy to be the first to go down in history-that is, if she isn't taken down by her fellow competitors first. Or her guard down for a certain Prince with bloodshot red eyes and-like her, has a different reason for participating in the games above receiving a courtship. Or will she let her sister down by breaking a speacil bond through her cutthroat tactics?

Blair Oaks knows what it's like to be the 2nd option, in fact she wasn't even supposed to be chosen as one of the 25. Now she's terrified of not only dying, but people finding out her secret and questioning her spot. On top of this she can't help finding herself questioning her own sister, and if she'll be stabbed in the back. Either by her sister, or by His Grace, who she finds herself falling head over heels for. But will she just be his second choice, or will she die trying?
