Scorched Kingdom (Kings of Corvus College #2)

PROLOGUE

“Choose,” a disembodied voice commands, the low monotone echoing off the stone walls of the crypt and rattling down to my bones.

I suck in a shaky breath, adjusting my grip on the hilt of the dagger with trembling fingers while my eyes ping between the three men kneeling before me. Their heads are bowed, the hoods of their black robes concealing their faces, but I know exactly who they are.

Weston Powers, the master manipulator who sunk his hooks in me.

Christian Ford, the psychopath without a conscience who reeled me in.

And Rafael Romero, my deranged stepbrother who ensured I could never escape.

Tonight, one of them will bleed.

It’s the only way this nightmare ends.
