Ruthless

They say grief comes in waves. Savannah Grey knows better. She’s been drowning for months. After surviving the massacre that stole her girlfriend’s life, Savannah is sent to Briarcliff Academy—an elite boarding school built on secrets, silence, and bloodlines sharper than knives. Haunted by memories, scarred by the past, she arrives with one bag, one lie, and no intention of surviving anything more. But Briarcliff is no safe haven. It’s a throne of shadows, ruled by four ruthless boys who see everything—and forget nothing. Cassian Wolfe has her dead lover’s eyes. Jett laughs like chaos and bleeds mischief. Alec plays by rules only he writes. And Ronan? He’s already broken. Just like her. As secrets unravel and alliances sharpen, Savannah is pulled into a web of privilege, pain, and revenge. She came here hollow. But in the fire Briarcliff feeds, she might finally learn how to burn. Grief is a cage. But survival? That’s a war.
