The deafening pulse of Iridian City’s nightlife couldn't mask the heavy silence of seven country boys, outsiders staring up at the glittering university towers. They watched, hands gripping at worn bags, until the music shifted its tone. Elena Vane stepped forward. The room bent to her command; her beauty was a physical force, sharp and overwhelming. She was the untouchable heiress, perfection given flesh. The seven froze. Their admiration curdled into something dark, something hungry. When a wave of laughter echoed behind them, they did not look away. They couldn't. Their collective gaze locked onto her, ravenous and unblinking, a vow made in silence. This was the beginning of an obsession that would demand she be theirs, and theirs alone.
