My sister’s death was ruled an accident, but it was all a lie... They’re the kings of Welhurst University, heirs to the most powerful, corrupt, and ruthless families in Ascendence Bay. Each of them is stunningly gorgeous, rich, and talented. Nobody is that perfect. All of them hide dark, dangerous secrets. And I’m going to expose them. I’m going to make everyone see exactly who they are. Murderers. I have skills they would never expect, and I plan on using my talents to make the Boys of Ascendence Bay pay in blood for the loss of my sister. I’ll do whatever it takes to get them to crack and confess to their crimes. The closer I get to finding out which mafia heir is the killer, the more I realize I didn't know my sister as well as I thought. Big, ugly secrets come to light that will change my family forever. But what's worse is the enemies I thought I needed to destroy are more complex and tempting than I ever imagined. Can I survive the truth being uncovered or will I be buried by the lies? If you love the twists and turns of Caroline Peckham and the steam of Tate James, then you'll love Bloody Princess!

Finding out who murdered my sister was supposed to be easy… The Boys of Ascendance Bay are more complicated than I ever imagined. Between what Jude told me and the creepy notes that I’ve found in my room I’m beginning to wonder if there’s more to my sister’s death than I first thought. Melody is pushing harder for me to find the evidence we need to take our revenge. Add to that pledging Pi Ep and the Regents taking an interest in me, and my already full plate is starting to overflow. It doesn’t help that my icy cold heart is trying to beat again for two of the guys we suspect had a hand in our sister’s murder. I’m too damaged, too lost in my father’s web to fall for them though. If I did it would start a war between our families the likes of which has never been seen before, and who knows if we would survive the fallout?

The more I find out about the Boys of Ascendance Bay, the more questions I have… They have more secrets than I first thought, and getting to the truth is harder than digging my sister's grave. I have to persevere if I want answers, but keeping reality separate from the lies is getting more difficult by the day. My feelings for them are only getting more confusing, and my twin is only getting more frustrated with me. Nothing is going according to plan and at any moment, everything could fall apart. Not only is pledging Pi Ep getting harder, but now I’m being recruited to join a secret society as well—all of which ties to my parents and could lead me closer to answers about my sister’s death, if I can make it past initiation... If you love the twists and turns of Caroline Peckham and the steam of Tate James, then you'll love Cruel Reign! Please note that Helen and Zoey plan on moving the release date forward upon completion of the book.

I thought the truth would be black and white. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The Boys of Ascendance Bay have wormed their way under my skin, or rather some of them have. The others I’m still not so sure about. With each task for the Regents getting deadlier and the Pi Ep parties growing more depraved, the guys have become my safe haven. All of that is threatened when their stalker decides that they have too much interest in me. Now I’m stuck in my enemy’s care with my twin, and I have to find a way out or we’ll kill each other. I refuse to rot down here. I won't be broken again. Keats, Atlas, Thayer, and maybe even Jude, will stop at nothing to find me, no matter how much blood they have to spill. If I want a life with them, then I have to fight for it harder than I’ve ever fought for anything else. Before all this is over I know I’ll end up with blood on my hands. The only question is whose?
