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.

“She’s more than ready, Pierce. Fuck her hard enough for me to feel you.”
“I’ve been thinking about how your lips would look wrapped around me since the Choosing. But you’ve exceeded every fantasy I could’ve possibly had. That deserves a reward.”
“I would keep you forever if I could, darling. But I must share you.”
“I want to watch these two ruin her before you and I put her back together.”
“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.”
“If that’s my punishment for being bad, you’re not giving me much incentive to behave.”
“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.”
“When I fuck you, Rylee Gray, it will be in a place where you can scream my name.”
“Legends live together, and we die together.”
“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—”
“You know I love to watch. Show me how good you can fuck my friends.”
“I want you, Rylee. I want you alive and happy and with me. I don’t need more power. I need you.”
“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?”
“It is your fault. You could tamp down your powers when all four of you are together with the potential.”
“Haven’t you ever heard of the Nightmare’s playroom?”
“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?”
“Darling. You know I can’t stand it when you’re upset. Tell me what I can do to make it up to you. Would you like me to let you win next time—”
“The minute I heard your voice, the minute I sensed your emotions, you felt like mine.”
