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.

The classroom door swung open, and Daisy let out a long breath of relief. "Thank God, you're here." She hurried forward and wrapped Ivy in a tight hug.


Ivy embraced her back, then pulled back, eyes wide and tense. "She really called you? Luna Zara?"


Daisy nodded, still shaken. "Yeah. She questioned me about Violet and Lila."


Ivy's expression twisted in fear. "What do you think we should do? What if we just run away? My family has a private property in the city. We can hide out there until this all blows over."


But Daisy shook her head. "No, Ivy. Running away only proves we're hiding something. We can't do that."


"We stay," Daisy told her. "We simply keep our heads down, and act normal. The moment we run, we look guilty. Violet would want us to be brave, not cowards."


Ivy sighed, running her hand through her hair. "What in the world is going on here? Where is Violet? What happened this time?"
