The children of the world’s most powerful families were never meant to be ordinary. Y/N Russo has spent her entire life rejecting the empire she was born into, refusing to become the successor her father built his world around. When her final attempt to “fix” her future fails, Dante Russo makes a decision that changes everything: she is placed under the supervision of Christian Harper. What begins as control quickly becomes conflict. Y/N and Raphael Harper clash at every turn — discipline versus defiance, structure versus chaos — until hatred starts to blur into something neither of them can name. But she is not the only one tangled in the aftermath of legacy. A prince falls for someone he was never meant to choose. A friendship becomes betrayal. An arranged future begins to fracture under the weight of expectation. And in a world built on power, the next generation is about to prove they are more dangerous than the last.
