They said the Choosing was a gift. They never told me I was playing a deadly game.
Four rulers. Monsters cloaked in crowns. They're not just powerful—they're primal. And now, they want me.
I wasn't supposed to be part of the Choosing. I forged my way in, wearing a stranger's face, chasing whispers of my lost sister. I planned to seduce. To manipulate. To survive. But I didn't plan on them.
The way they watch me like prey. The way their magic coils around mine like a promise. The way they say my name like they already own it. Each man wants to break me in his own way. Take me in his own way. Together? They might unmake me entirely.
One girl. Four princes. No escape. No salvation. Only pleasure sharp enough to cut.

“I had to choose you. I needed to choose you. There was no stopping it. And the second the words came out of my mouth, I knew I’d damned us.”
“She’s more than ready, Pierce. Fuck her hard enough for me to feel you.”
“Truth be told, I’m tempted to steal you a night early. Damn the rules. You wearing that dress has become a new weakness I didn’t realize I had.”
“You’ve each had her for longer. I get her needy little pussy first.”
“If your mothers hadn’t written the rules of the Choosing, I would simply audition girls until I found one who could actually tolerate the lot of you. Lumathyst may be strong, but you Legends are making a mockery of our royal line.”
“You know I love to watch. Show me how good you can fuck my friends.”
“Say yes to me now. Tell me yes, Rylee. Tell me yes right this second, because the moment you step foot in my territory, I’m going to claim you so many times you won’t be able to explore my city for at least a week.”
“I don’t pretend to assume why the kings are the way they are, but I can imagine that they like their thrones, their power, maybe even enough to view you all as a threat. But then again, maybe I’ve read too many royal fantasy novels.”
“They’re the ones who shouldn’t be crossing lines. They have no business testing you like that. It’ll never happen again. I promise. You’re safe with me. You know that, right?”
“Haven’t you ever heard of the Nightmare’s playroom?”
“I know I’m a handful. Know I’m a cocky bastard who likes to push the limits, not to mention the weight of obligation that comes with being a Legend. If that’s too much, then—”
“I want to punish you for lying. I want to cut the truth out of you. I want to fuck you so hard and so long, you won’t be able to think about anyone outside the Legends. I want to take turns with them, lighting you up in ways you’ve never even dared to imagine.”
“I could unravel you in front of all these people. You wouldn’t even realize you’re on the ship anymore.”
“I’m the Nightmare, Rylee. The son of the vilest bastard who’s ever lived. I’m not good like the other Legends.”
“ I want to ruin it. I want to ruin you.”
“I felt your incredible power the second I stepped into your mind. You know how I feel.”
“I want to watch these two ruin her before you and I put her back together.”
“If she’s the one, then she’s a threat. Despite Baydel’s insistence that he wants us to unlock our powers to keep the offerings to our mothers strong. Why does he see Rylee as a threat and not the others?”
