Before they were kings, they were fractured boys.
Saint Helier's Academy hides its scars behind ivy-covered walls and polished names. But beneath the Latin mottos and legacy crests, seven boys are learning how to survive the quiet war of privilege, power, and pain.
Caelan Sterling wears silence like a second skin-an heir born with a crown too heavy for his spine. Darian Wolfe is all fire and fists, punching shadows no one else can see. Julius Vexley, precise and untouchable, is cracking under a perfection no one asked him to carry. And others are coming-each stranger, lonelier, more haunted than the last.
They do not fit.
They do not bend.
But together, they will build something greater than blood:
A brotherhood.
Unbreakable.
Unforgiving.
And destined to rise.
This is the beginning.
Before the empire. Before the betrayals. Before the vow that changed everything.

Between loyalty, obsession, and betrayal, she's caught in a fire that refuses to die out. Each brother carries a piece of her-one offering comfort, the other chaos. One pulling her toward salvation, the other toward destruction. But flames don't choose sides. They consume. But in the end, will she belong to either of them-or to the fire that binds them all?Complete
Bloodline of Shadows
Born the youngest of twelve powerful brothers, you were destined to inherit a legacy greater than all of them chosen as heir not by age, but by the ancient powers flowing through your veins. But fate was cruel. Stolen away as a child, your body was poisoned, your mind fractured, and your power suppressed. For years, you were lost, a missing prince hidden in shadows. Now found again, you return to a family torn between fierce protectiveness and their own dangerous instincts. Some test your strength. Others guard your fragile stability. And within you, not one voice, but many linger: echoes of cruelty, scars of pain, and something darker born in captivity. Every day becomes a battle not just against your brothers' challenges, but against the selves inside you, desperate to surface. Yet amidst the chaos, bonds begin to form, and trust slowly grows. With each trial, you take a step closer to reclaiming both your place as heir... and the fractured pieces of yourself. But the deeper you go, the more one truth becomes clear: survival means not only mastering your power, but mastering the shadows that live within.Complete

But when her parents arrange her marriage to the Italian heir she swore she'd never forgive, Izzy's world burns with the weight of old wounds and forbidden desires.

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.

Velbridge Academy
Welcome to Velbridge Academy - where royalty, wealth, and legacy aren't just inherited... they're weaponized. Tucked behind gilded gates and hidden from the public eye, Velbridge isn't your typical elite boarding school. It's the academy of the crowned, the heirs of empires, and the future rulers of the world. Power isn't taught here - it's expected. When Lilith Aurelian, an ordinary girl with a quiet past and a sharp mind, earns her place among the thirteen - a group made of royalty, aristocrats, and heirs - she doesn't just step into privilege. She steps into centuries of secrets, tension, and rituals built to break the weak. What begins as icy stares and velvet walls becomes something else entirely. Between intimate spa rooms divided only by curtains, private jets that whisper confessions in the dark, and late-night lounges where power slips through murmured words and steady hands - Lilith discovers that belonging is far more dangerous than exclusion. Friendships bloom. Trust fractures. Love simmers beneath silk robes and stolen glances. And just when the group begins to heal, a single mistake threatens to unravel it all. Because at Velbridge, one wrong move isn't just social suicide - it's legacy death. This is Velbridge: where loyalty is tested, intimacy is a silent language, and the only thing thicker than blood... is the silence that follows betrayal.Complete
