Crown Me or Kill Me

At Neo Airis College, perfection is just a mask - one made of gold, secrets, and blood.

Kai Smith thought his freshman year would be simple: study hard, make a name for himself outside his famous parents' shadow, and enjoy the luxury of the city's most elite college. But behind the marble walls and glittering dorms of Neo Airis, something dark stirs. Students disappear. Scandals vanish overnight. And every smile hides a motive.

Then there's Symair Helsing - the senior everyone whispers about. Brilliant, arrogant, dangerously charming. The son of a man more feared than respected, Symair runs Neo Airis from the shadows with his underground network, The Venturas. Drugs, money, secrets - all of it flows through his hands. And when Kai catches his attention, obsession quickly replaces curiosity.

Mariah Seriyani, Kai's fiercely loyal best friend, knows the rumors are true. She's seen things, heard whispers, and even danced too close to the wrong people. But nothing could prepare her for the night of the shooting - or the chain of events that follow.

As the line between innocence and corruption blurs, Kai is forced into Symair's world - one of power, passion, and danger - where love feels like a weapon and trust could get you killed.

In a college built on lies, they'll have to decide what's worth saving:
their crowns... or each other.
