Glimmy

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. 

To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna.

This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. 

Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. 

To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. 

Yet, they all have their eyes on her.

They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

"He's going to come after me," Violet whispered to herself with dread. Her friends heard her, their expressions shifting to one of concern.

"What do you mean by that?" Lila asked, alarmed.

Violet clenched her fists. "This is my one chance to leave the West House, but Asher won't let that happen. He'll focus all his resources on capturing me."

"Alaric won't stay still either way," Daisy countered. "You're his girlfriend. This is his chance to keep you close. It'll turn into a fight over you, and I have no doubt Griffin and Roman will back their respective friends."

"Wait a minute," Ivy interjected, a spark of realization in her eyes. "If they all fight over you, doesn't that mean it'll give us enough time to escape? What happens if we actually manage to escape without getting caught?"
