Victoria 

The first time he sent me the decapitated head of my enemy, I fell in love.
No, it wasn’t exactly appropriate, but the world is dark and mine is only getting darker.
There’s a secret society seething behind my college’s preppy image—and I want in.
Who better to go to for help than my psychotic suitor, Maxim Lyanov?
The Veronians selected me to be the well-connected future wife of a brother.
I’ll play their games, prove my worth but the only person who’ll decide whose ring I wear is me.
They’re about to learn the hard way that I’m a brat and I’ve already chosen my man.
Cloaked in Maxim’s protection, I, Victoria Vasov, will be the next kingmaker.
