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.

With Queen Seraphira gone, Violet was left alone with her beloved stepfather—and she had no intention of spending family time with him.


She had barely risen from her seat when Baron said, "How exactly do you intend to rule the Free Fae when you plan to return to the human world?"


Baron's gaze was hard and filled with resentment. "Isn't that greed?" he continued, his tone edged with bitterness. "Rule your beast father's kingdom. You know nothing about the Free Fae and our people, so leave us be."


"And you think you're the right fit?" she asked coldly. "Your delusion is far more impressive than my supposed greed."


Across the hall, the cardinal alphas had already noticed the shift. They didn't move immediately, but their bodies tensed, their instincts on alert. They knew Baron wouldn't dare do anything openly—but they also knew Violet was fearless enough to provoke him.
