Synopsis

A dark enemies-to-lovers college romance about a careful good girl and the ruthless heir who decides to keep her. Cecily Knight, a British psychology student at Royal Elite University, sneaks into the Heathens' secret initiation on behalf of a rival group, certain she can slip out unseen. Instead she is spotted by Jeremy Volkov: leader of the Heathens, heir to the Volkov Bratva, and the most dangerous man in the room. Jeremy claims he wants to protect her, but Cecily knows the truth is closer to possession, and he pulls her into his blood-soaked world whether she is ready or not. As his fixation intensifies into stalking and obsession, the toxic pull between them edges toward something more genuine, while the rivalries and family secrets of the wider universe press in. Told in multiple points of view, the book pairs Cecily's guarded, analytical nature against Jeremy's predatory charm. It is the third entry in the Legacy of Gods series; Cecily descends from Rina Kent's Royal Elite couple in Black Knight, and Jeremy from the Deception Trilogy's Volkovs.
