Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. 

To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna.

This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. 

Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. 

To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. 

Yet, they all have their eyes on her.

They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

If you're reading this message, I'm probably gone already. Perhaps you might think me a coward, but the truth is there are urgent matters I must attend to in the Fae realm. And just maybe, I am a coward since I'm relieved I won't be there to see the wrath on your face by the time you're done reading this letter."


Although Violet hadn't even finished the letter, her face was already marred by a deep frown, an ominous feeling forming in the pit of her belly. God knows what Lila had done this time.


"Just as an extra measure, in case you stubbornly refused to put on the necklace. If you want to still be with your darling boyfriends, better wear that or you can say bye-bye to them forever when Baron gets his hands on you."


Violet snorted after she read that part. This was manipulation. Nonetheless, she got the message and moved on.
