Taken from the safety of my bed, blindfolded and whisked away to a place I never imagined—the twisted halls of Sinners Academy—my nightmare begins. Displayed before a group of masked men, I’m forced to offer my hand in marriage to a stranger, my life dictated by their cruel game.

But that’s just the start.

Before I can become a wife, I must first be claimed—by a man who goes by the name Tyrant. His mission? To break me. To tear me apart, piece by piece, leaving me shattered for the man I’m destined to marry to pick up the remnants.

This is the way of his Brood and the Legion—an elite group of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men, whose acts of violence are as unspeakable as their motives are dark. And there’s nowhere I can hide. No one who will save me.

But what I didn’t expect was to find a strange comfort in Tyrant’s brutal grasp. Something more twisted than I could have imagined.

As if that weren’t enough, there’s another shadow stalking me, someone even more dangerous. A person with one mission: to destroy me completely. To ensure I lose everything I’ve learned to love.

Escape is impossible. Survival is uncertain.

And as I fall deeper into this deadly game, I begin to wonder—will I ever be free, or have I become a pawn in a game much darker than I ever anticipated?
