Disobedient Pawn: The Kings of Wayward Academy, Book 1

Why we recommend it

A wayward-academy opener that casts its heroine as a pawn in someone else's brutal game. Expect ruthless kings, oppressive power dynamics and a slow shift from prey to player. Dark, claustrophobic and charged with obsessive intensity, it's made for readers who love a captive caught among predators and the dangerous magnetism that builds when control becomes its own kind of seduction.
