The Vicious Boys of Oakhaven

In Oakhaven, the dead don't rest. They get picked clean.

My world ended at 3:47 PM on a Tuesday. I lost my parents, my home, and my safety in a heartbeat. Now, I've been handed over to a man who views me as nothing more than a strategic asset. My Uncle Marcus didn't bring me to Oakhaven Academy for an education; he brought me here as a shield against a war he's losing.Hidden deep within a forest of ancient stone and blackened glass, Oakhaven is a sanctuary for the elite and a graveyard for the weak. And at the top of the food chain sit the three reasons everyone here lives in fear.

The Warrick Brothers, heirs to The Vultures.

The Warrick brothers aren't just students. They are the heirs to a legacy of violence, watching from the shadows of the North Woods, waiting for a single moment of vulnerability. To them, I'm not a girl in mourning-I'm a trespasser. A liability and a shiny new toy for them to dismantle. They say if The Vultures circle you, you're already dead. I've spent my life trying to be invisible, but in a school built on secrets and blood, there is nowhere to hide. Especially when the most dangerous of them all has decided that I'm the only thing worth keeping.

I came to Oakhaven to survive. But how do you survive a predator that's already tasted your fear?

Welcome to Oakhaven. Try not to die before the Vultures are done with you.
