Book 1 of 2: Wastelands Academy

At a school ruled by the beautiful and brutal, she’s caught in the sights of The Crows—kings of cruelty. But she won’t play their game, not when a life and love hang in the balance. A dark, emotional, and high-stakes dark academia romance with psychological tension and forbidden desire.

I’m used to being the new girl.

Every time Dad gets restationed, it’s the same routine—keep my head low and be invisible until the next move.

Except, despite the uniform, I don’t have the money or the complexion to blend in with the devastatingly rich and beautiful students gracing the halls of Desert Badlands Academy.

It’s bad enough, before my first day, I let Xander Gale give me a handy introduction in a darkened hallway of his home. Even if he is hot, I keep telling myself I don’t need any distractions. My scholarship is riding on finishing up the year here.

When I see him looking at me, I still hope we can pick up where we left off.

Only, now his lingering stares have caught the attention of the other sinister members of The Crows—Jorden Battle and Marshall Landers. All beautiful disasters, gods, and idols of Badlands—or Wastelands—who feast on the innocent.

***

It’s all my fault.

Marshall caught me watching Izabelle Waters. He’s made a game out of taking whatever he knows I want just to see me scramble. And for what? To be the King of the Crows?

Now there’s going to be a feeding. He wants me to ruin Izabelle with the whole school watching.

I’m not going to allow it.

Not when my future relies on it. Not I when she’s the first girl I ever really wanted. Not when the last girl we videoed ourselves ruining is now dead.
