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 love you. Fucking love the way you can take us. All of us.”
“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—”
“We’ve been on a crash course since you found me in the library. I loved you then. I didn’t know it, but I do now.”
“I’m the Nightmare, Rylee. The son of the vilest bastard who’s ever lived. I’m not good like the other Legends.”
“Something about this time is different. It’s like all the Choosings before this were just stepping stones guiding us to her.”
“I love the idea of letting her choose. In the end, that’s what we’ll need her to do anyway. Choose us.”
“The minute I heard your voice, the minute I sensed your emotions, you felt like mine.”
“ I want to ruin it. I want to ruin you.”
“Rylee. I’m not like my friends. You should run while you still can.”
“That’s right. I almost forgot. You’re the big bad Nightmare.”
“It is your fault. You could tamp down your powers when all four of you are together with the potential.”
“If I win, you’ll let me and Kal take you right here on this beach. And the last thing I want is you being quiet.”
“I don’t give this out lightly, darling. You are the most important thing to me now. My mate—if not official, then in my heart.”
“I want to watch these two ruin her before you and I put her back together.”
“The only reason they have any wealth is because those beneath them dig it out for them at the expense of their backs.”
“I told you that first day, kitten. You’re mine. No matter what.”
“Haven’t you ever heard of the Nightmare’s playroom?”
“That mouth. I bet it gets you into all kinds of trouble.”
