It’s a common story. I’m sure you can guess how it goes. Girl winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. She witnesses four gods of beauty and brutality murder some poor sap, and she’s stupid enough to get caught. Come on. You know what happens next. You know they tracked her...me...down.

Welcome to Breakbattle Academy. The first school of its kind, where survival of the fittest is not a saying, it's your reality. Ruled by those who are elite in name, beauty, and cunning, Breakbattle takes the war of the classes to a whole new level. The next four years of my life will be a fight the likes of which I can't yet comprehend, but first, I have to survive orientation week.

It doesn’t feel like the end. It feels like all of my problems are just beginning. There’s more happening in my town of Raven River than I knew. More lies. More secrets. More pain. Enemies seen and unseen are circling, and not even my guardian angels can protect me. There’s a war coming, and I’ll fight because this time my Angels...my Horsemen...my loves...are the ones who need saving.

My parents forgot something when they ran…me. After scamming most of our town out of their life savings, my folks disappeared in the middle of the night. Forced to take me in, my estranged aunt and uncle shipped me off to Raven River Academy the first chance they got. In my town, the line between the haves and the have-nots is actually a 12-foot gate that keeps the unwanted where they belong. Nothing could unite the two factions until I set foot on campus. For the first time in our history, they all agree on one thing: I must pay for my father’s sins.

It wasn't supposed to be like this. Evergreen Academy was meant to be my fresh start. My hair was on point. My skin was flawless. And now, I wore the hell out of my clothes instead of hiding them. Even running into Ryder hadn't thrown me. So what if the silver-eyed devil who tormented me for years now ruled my new school with a band of boys everyone called the Knights. The four of them were devastatingly rich, enviously handsome...and heartbreakingly cruel.

Evergreen Academy was supposed to be my fresh start…and Somerset University my second chance. All I wanted was normal. Normal classes. Normal professors. Normal sorority. I wanted the Somerset Sallys to be like every other Greek house. I wanted the pretty, fun, sweet sisters to be genuine. I wanted the smile of their enigmatic leader not to conceal a secret. And I wanted the story they told me to be true. I should have known that was too much to ask.

It’s a new semester at Regalia University, and by the end of it, five men will die. My sister was good, kind, loving, and the Royals of Regalia bullied her till she killed herself. I set foot on campus ready to right some wrongs when the most handsome bunch of stone-cold weirdos asked if I needed a little help…Don’t get me started on Lucien. He fancies himself a vampire—complete with sharpened canines, cape, and a coffin, but if anyone knows how to make a man bleed, it’s him.

The town of Bedlam was born of rioters, revolt, pain, and murder. Over a hundred years later, nothing has changed. A shadow clings to our lives. Stalking, watching, waiting, taunting, and killing. And when it struck, I wasn't ready. I have to play their game now. Catch them, kill them, before Ruckus Royale or they'll claim another sacrifice. The trouble is a new band of outlaws are in charge, and Arsenio, Cairo, Jacques, Legend, and Roan don't take well to people ruining their fun.

They think they won. The Elite thought it would end at the battle, but I'm taking them to war. I will topple Landon, Michael, and Cole off their thrones, even if it means bringing the system to its knees. Tensions are boiling beneath the surface of Breakbattle Academy. Protests are erupting, the lower classes are fighting back, and the Elites aren’t as invulnerable as they thought. The school is ready to blow. All they need is the right girl to light the match.

I never thought I could forgive them. I didn't believe there was still a heart inside of me that could forgive. But my boys, my knights, were taking down my walls and claiming a piece for themselves. All I wanted was to lock our secret away and enter junior year as though the past never happened...but someone won't let me. Someone knows what we did and the price for their silence may be more than I can give.

Life has never been worse. The Phantom who haunted my nightmares turned out to be bigger, badder, and deadlier than I ever knew was possible. My guys are in hiding. My allies are enemies. And I have nowhere to turn.

My sister was good, kind, loving, and the Royals of Regalia bullied her 'til she killed herself. I set foot on campus ready to right some wrongs when the most handsome bunch of stone-cold weirdos asked if I needed a little help. These four are as determined to make up for not protecting my sister as they are to protect…and keep…me. They’re freaks. Weirdos. Psychos. But damned if they’re not taking my heart like they do everything else—without mercy or permission. It’s the five of us against the most untouchable of Regalia. No one thinks we can win, but I like my chances.

The trouble with bullies is... they hate when you stand up to them. I used to be on top. I used to rule the school. Then one cruel act knocked me off my pedestal and Christian was more than happy to ride me down. Christian Moreau: resident bad boy, former best friend, now my tormentor. Nobody dared to stand up to him until one girl, a bottle of vodka, and a shove changed everything. Yeah, that girl was me. If only I had known what that shove would set off. A war with the Queen Bee of Meadow Creek. Long-hidden dark secrets revealed. And Christian Moreau moving in down the hall. Christian ...

I’m going through a bit of a rough patch. I lost my job, got kicked out of my apartment, and now I sleep under an overpass. If that wasn’t bad enough, my psychic sister is plagued with visions of my death. The last thing I needed was Sole “Sunny” Bellisario crashing through my tent. Someone tried to kill the heir to the notorious Merchant crime family, and he’ll change my life if I help him find out who. This is just a business arrangement. I will not be seduced by that wicked grin, reckless lust for destruction, or how quickly he cuts down anyone who crosses me.

There’s more behind my sister’s death than I knew. Secrets she was determined I never learn, and she’s not the only one. Someone is watching. They’re waiting for me to make my move, and bring me down for good. But how is a girl supposed to find one bad royal in a group of spoiled, twisted rich brats that spread bad on their strawberry crepes every morning for breakfast? I don’t know, but I definitely don’t do it by getting distracted by my hot professor who can’t stay away. Or the infuriating fiancé who keeps making me smile in between pissing me off.

Drugs flooding campus. Tensions brewing between the factions. Old enemies reappearing. New secrets taking over my life. Love awakening a soul I long thought was dead. Cassius, Clay, Hiro, and Royal have named me one of them, but sharing a title is easy. Can we share all that comes with it? I’ll be tested in ways I’m not prepared for — by enemies and loves alike. There’s more going on with the academy, the Horsemen, and my parent’s disappearance than I knew. What I do know is following that path will be dangerous.
