Cruel King

Description

At Royal Elite School, Astrid Clifford has learned to pass unnoticed until Levi, the domineering student who treats the campus as his kingdom, singles her out. He calls her his princess, but his attention comes as a threat rather than a courtship: a harsh set of commands demands that she submit, endure, and kneel. Astrid refuses to accept the role he has chosen for her, even as his power turns her from an overlooked student into a hunted target and draws her into an increasingly charged struggle. Their contest makes attraction difficult to separate from intimidation. This dark high-school romance centers on control, resistance, emotional danger, and Astrid’s determination to discover whether her emerging strength can overturn Levi’s assumed authority.
