A dance with the pentarch kings.
In a world where beasts rarely crave their own gender, Blazar's disguise as a boy is both her shield and her greatest gamble. Her scent betrays her - an intoxicating lure that would send any beast-blooded king into a frenzy to claim her.
The disguise makes them hesitate, their instincts confused by the male facade over the irresistible female scent beneath. Every breath risks her discovery. Every moment is a gamble.
Born a nobody. Sold into slavery. Bought by a king. Raised as a weapon. Her orders are simple: infiltrate Royal Imperium Prestigia High, pose as noble boy Orion Spade from a broken line, and assassinate the most powerful king.
Succeed, and she lives.
Fail, and she dies.Prestigia is an academy where monsters are crowned - and innocents devoured. Ruled by the Havoc Five:
Dante the werewolf supreme alpha, Kaelric the apex of humanity, Vesper the vampire overlord, Xeari the werecat king, and Ryuzaki the celestial kitsune. Each more lethal than the last. Thousands of nobles would kill to kneel at their feet.
For most girls, this is paradise. For Blazar? A nightmare.
Her defiance doesn't go unnoticed. The kings circle her - some to protect, some to break her, others wanting more.
To survive, she must outwit them all while hiding her true gender, her slave mark, the deadly secret of her bloodline, and escape the king who owns her.
Blazar Staray won't play their games.
And she certainly doesn't kneel.
