It all started with losing her mother, getting thrown into a boarding school, and then having the rumored witch-like princess of the kingdom desire her and want her by all means necessary. But it isn't the innocent type of desire she had expected. It's something much darker than she could ever handle. **** Sera didn't think her life would ever take a turn for the worst until her worthless father remarried her mother's half sister and, on her orders, sent Sera to a boarding school that was far off in a different kingdom—Elysium High, an all-girls academy for the most prestigious daughters in all of the seven kingdoms. In Elysium, only the most powerful could survive, as even the prettiest and most innocent-looking faces had skeletons in their closests and would ruin anyone or anything that got in their way. Unfortunately for innocent and naive Sera, she would become the newest prey of Elysium, and everyone wants a piece of the beautiful redhead. But what happens when the most unexpected person also takes an interest in her? Electra's name alone was enough to get the entire school shaking in fear. Not only was she the only heir to the most powerful kingdom in the realm, she was also known as the cold-hearted queen of Elysium High. Nothing and no one ever caught Electra's attention, until the arrival of Sera, where everything changed. And all it took was for clumsy Sera to bump into the most powerful one of them all. *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+!

Seraphina's legs felt like jelly under her as she stood frozen by the target. Her entire body trembled so violently that she feared she might collapse or worse—wet herself from sheer terror.
The grazing cut on her cheek stung, but it wasn't the pain that overwhelmed her. It was the realization that the arrow could have easily been fatal if Electra had miscalculated by even an inch.
The image of the arrowhead plunging into her face flashed vividly in her mind, making her stomach churn.
Her fingers twitched involuntarily as she reached up to touch the thin line of blood trailing down her cheek. The warmth of it against her fingertips felt surreal, almost as though it belonged to someone else.
She blinked rapidly, trying to clear the tears forming in her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, her mind betrayed her, pulling her back into the darkest corners of her memories.
