THE OFFERING

A dark college romance. Enemies to lovers, a possessive antihero, and a thief who came to burn it all down.

At Ravenscar University, the oldest families don't send their sons to be educated. They send them to be crowned.

Nine bloodlines. One secret society. And every generation, a girl is marked, branded, and kept - chosen by a Warden to serve him, to obey him, and to bury the darkest secrets this hill has ever buried.

I was never meant to be chosen. I'm a scholarship girl. A liar. A thief with a dead brother and one reason for climbing this hill: the Order took him from me, and I came to make every last one of them pay.

Then Kellan Ravenscar stood up in a room full of predators, put his cold, beautiful hand on me, and called me his.

BLOOD IS THE ONLY OATH THAT KEEPS.

He thinks he chose me. He has no idea I let him - that being kept is the only way close enough to the one book that can end nine dynasties, the book I mean to burn with all of them still inside it.

But the heir I'm supposed to destroy is running the same game I am, from the other side. And the one secret that could get us both killed is the truth about what he really did the night my brother was supposed to die.

I climbed this hill to bury them.
I did not plan on being kept.
And I never, ever planned on him.

Some oaths are sworn in blood.
Ours is going to be sworn in ash.
