In the opulent world of Ashbourne Manor, seventeen-year-old Victor Ashbourne, heir to a vast conglomerate empire, wields his privilege like a weapon. Cruel and calculating, he delights in manipulating those around him, particularly the girls who cross his path—whether they’re maids, classmates, or socialites. When Elise, a bold new student at Crestwood Academy, catches his eye with her quiet defiance, Victor sees a new challenge. As he sets his sights on breaking her, the stage is set for a battle of wills that could unravel his carefully crafted reign—or expose the darkness beneath it.
