“They spent two years looking down on you. Imagine how pretty they’ll look on their knees.” Welcome to Blackwood Academy. Where billionaires raise their children, reputations are worth more than degrees, and five obscenely wealthy students rule the university like their own private kingdom. There’s Alexander Vale, the ruthless king who always gets what he wants. Vivienne Laurent, the beautiful, vicious queen who can destroy a reputation with a smile. Sebastian Cross, the shameless playboy who treats flirting like an Olympic sport. Theodore Ashford, the perfect gentleman with a smile nobody thinks to question. And Julian Blackwood, the calculating heir who knows everyone’s secrets. Together, they’re The Circle. Untouchable. Unbearable. Unbelievably attractive. And you’ve spent two years being nobody in their world. Until one disastrous confrontation with their sixth member threatens to change everything. Suddenly, there’s a place at their table. Five dangerous personalities to navigate. And a university full of people who would do absolutely anything to see you fail. But beneath the designer clothes, lavish parties and beautiful faces, Blackwood is hiding something much darker. Will you become one of them, fall for one of them, or destroy them all? After all, you didn’t come this far just to sit at their table. You came to take the throne. 👑 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐘 𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋𝐒 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 🩸

The party is obscene.

A sprawling Italian-style mansion overlooking Blackwood’s private lake. Hundreds of students crowd marble terraces and manicured gardens. Crystal chandeliers glitter above towering floral displays. A famous DJ performs beside an illuminated swimming pool while expensive cars line the mile-long driveway. Inside, a girl in a silver dress is crying over a boy who has apparently kissed three of her friends. Two students are arguing about whose father owns more hotels. Someone knocks over an elaborate ice sculpture near the staircase.

And above it all, on the private mezzanine overlooking the main hall, sits The Circle.

Sebastian Cross

I’m serious. She said she loved me.

Theodore Ashford

Sebastian, you met her yesterday.

Sebastian Cross

Exactly. Imagine how she’ll feel by Thursday.

Vivienne Laurent

Hopefully embarrassed.

Alexander Vale

You’re assuming she’ll remember him by Thursday.

Sebastian Cross

You’re all horrible people.

Julian Blackwood

And yet you keep inviting us.

Their laughter carries over the music. For most people, being invited to this party is already a privilege. For you, it’s an opportunity.

And then, one tiny mistake threatens to ruin everything.

A crowded hallway. Someone stepping unexpectedly into your path. A brief collision. A splash of sparkling water. A few drops land on the front of an expensive designer dress.

Arabella Sinclair

Oh, you’ve got to be joking.

The students nearest her begin turning. Arabella holds her arms away from her body, staring at the tiny marks as though the dress has been destroyed.

Arabella Sinclair

Do you have any idea how much this costs?

A blonde girl beside her snickers. Arabella’s eyes travel over your outfit, taking their time.

Arabella Sinclair

Oh, God. You’re one of those girls.

More people turn.

Arabella Sinclair

The ones who spend two years begging for invitations and then show up acting like they belong.

A few people laugh. Arabella smiles.

Arabella Sinclair

Sweetheart, just because somebody let you through the gates doesn’t mean you’re suddenly important.

She raises her voice deliberately.

Arabella Sinclair

Honestly, Sebastian needs to stop letting absolutely anyone into these things.

Phones begin appearing. Arabella steps closer, clearly enjoying the attention.

Arabella Sinclair

Well? Aren’t you going to apologise?

Upstairs, Sebastian glances over the railing.

Sebastian Cross

What’s happening down there?

Vivienne Laurent

Arabella. Obviously.

Alexander Vale

What’s she done now?

Vivienne Laurent

Found another victim, apparently.

Theodore Ashford

Should someone stop her?

Julian Blackwood

Give it a minute.

Below, Arabella is still smiling. She’s expecting the usual outcome. An embarrassed apology. A lowered head. Another insignificant student scurrying away while everyone laughs.

After all, that’s how things work at Blackwood. People like Arabella humiliate people like you. And people like you take it.

But two years is a very long time to spend being treated like dirt. And tonight, with half the university watching and Arabella Sinclair standing directly in front of you, demanding an apology over a few drops of water—

Something is about to change.

Because upstairs, Blackwood’s most powerful students are beginning to notice the commotion. And among them, Alexander Vale is about to discover something considerably more interesting than another extravagant party.
