Five locked doors surround a circular bed.
Five men granted 24/7 access to me.
Bellthorn Academy’s acceptance letter changed everything. With one scholarship, they dragged me from the depths of the river and into the country’s most prestigious university. This opportunity should have been a dream, but I know better than to trust my luck.
This place is hidden far away from civilization inside a mountain for a reason. Bellthorn only honors old money and power, obeying no laws. The only word that counts in these twisting halls comes from the founding families, and five brutal men carry their legacy.
Lex, Parker, Orion, Soren, and Hadrian.
Eyes cling to them as they make their way through the halls, dragging me on a leash. I don’t know why I’m here, and they can’t be trusted to tell me. They are my keepers, my enemies, yet my only salvation.
The gates of Bellthorn are locked up tight with me stuck inside, but I’m just one secret. There are far more to discover.
Welcome to Bellthorn Academy.

My eyes blink open to the bright room. Awareness prickles the back of my neck and my gaze darts from one point to the other, breath trapped inside when I recognize the place I was left.
He must have put me in a time machine because the cops shut away our home months ago. I clutch the sheets under me, a gasp of raw emotion makes its way out when I see mom and dad's wedding picture. After dad killed her, they found mom on this bed, eyes open and expression serene.
My uncle moves around the house, the sounds he makes are enough to make me shudder and squeeze my eyes shut. I need to escape.
I survived Bellthorn, didn't I? I'm stronger than I look. And it's time to show these fuckers how strong this Briarwick is.
*Throne of Bellthorn is the epic conclusion of Bellthorn Boys duet. It only gets darker from here.
