Jacob DiFranco has a name at the table and a score to settle, but his life was never meant to hold love. At Sommerson University, the Forma fraternity trains sons for power: vows, brutality, and a ritual of possession disguise themselves as tradition. When Jacob is ordered to choose Aurora Sourveny Bruno, an illegitimate daughter of a higher-up, he unknowingly chooses an innocent meant to be a pawn, but grief, a bloodied initiation, and a shared secret pull him into dangerous territory.
As old codes crack, someone starts killing to protect a legacy—and Jacob must decide whether to follow a blood oath or fight a system that will bury anyone who resists. Torn between duty, violence, and a woman who wakes the man he thought dead, Jacob races through lies, betrayal, and the family’s darkest rites to save the only person he can’t lose. Will loyalty win—or will love make him the last man standing? This is a ruthless, addictive novel of domination, devotion, and what happens when family law becomes murder.
