Synopsis

This dark MM college romance pairs two young men from opposite worlds who collide during a brutal society initiation. Brandon King is a tightly controlled, emotionally guarded graduate art student from one of England's wealthiest families, the golden twin who wants nothing to do with his family's criminal ties and has never thought of himself as attracted to men. Nikolai Sokolov is a volatile, magnetic heir of the New York Russian Bratva, a chaotic force living with borderline personality disorder. Nikolai becomes fixated on Brandon and crashes through the perfect, ordered life Brandon has built around himself, dragging both men into an intense, destructive, and ultimately transformative bond. The story explores suppressed identity, trauma and recovery, and the push-pull between control and chaos, set against the same Royal Elite University backdrop as the rest of the series. Told in dual point of view, it is the fifth Legacy of Gods entry and the series' only MM romance. Brandon is the twin brother of Landon King from God of Ruin, and Nikolai is the older brother of Mia and Maya Sokolov, tying the book tightly to the surrounding novels.
