A dark academia prep-school saga where cruelty wears a crown and the hierarchy is brutal. This opener pits a sharp heroine against the ruthless royalty ruling Casbury, where contempt curdles into obsession and power games turn personal. Expect bully-romance bite, simmering hate-to-want tension, and an atmosphere thick with privilege and menace. Ideal for readers who love elite settings, vicious leads, and a slow descent from enemies into something far more dangerous.
