Welcome to Barrington University, where an elite brotherhood known as the Lords operates above conventional law and morality. In this shadowy world, Santo Beckham Carter is preparing to take his rightful place through brutal initiation trials that test his capacity for violence and control. His obsession? Ashtyn Lane Price-a woman he's watched through hidden cameras for years, learning her most intimate secrets and vulnerabilities. When Santo finally claims Ashtyn as his "chosen one," their relationship unfolds as a dangerous dance of power, desire, and manipulation. Their story isn't a fairytale romance but a descent into a world where love and obsession blur, where consent exists within frameworks of control, and where blood bonds are sealed through rituals that brand both body and soul.
