He was supposed to claim her... not fall for her.
Welcome to Sommerson University-where power isn't earned. It's inherited. And love? It's forbidden.
Jacob DiFranco was raised for one purpose: loyalty to the Forma fraternity.
Blood oaths. Brutal rituals. Absolute obedience.
Choosing Aurora was supposed to be tradition-
an innocent pawn, an illegitimate daughter, nothing more.
But she becomes his weakness. His secret. His undoing.
Now someone is killing to protect the legacy.
And Jacob must decide-
Honor the oath...or burn the entire system to save her.
Because in a world built on possession-she's the only thing he refuses to lose.
And he will make them all bleed for it.
Tropes you'll devour:
Secret society & deadly rituals
Elite legacy families
Morally gray, possessive MMC
Forced proximity
Obsession > duty
Forbidden love
Dark academia vibes
Murder, betrayal & blood oaths
Touch-her-and-die energy
She awakens the humanity he buried
If you love: secret societies, ruthless antiheroes, dark academia, and men who would destroy the world for her... this one will consume you.
