New editing The whole series has been edited and revised on August 10, 2023. Enjoy! The plot builds with each book as a puzzle for the reader to figure out. This book sets up everything to start unfolding. Book one is written in only Octavia’s perspective, but multiple point of views begin in book two. Book Summary Beast or Man. Friend or Foe. Truth or Lie. Everything had a counterpart. Another side always revealed—like a coin—when we least expected it. Though, with these boys, I wasn’t sure if any light remained in them. Maybe once upon a time they had a tender side, but something snuffed it out. That traumatic thing never allowed mercy to lead their judgment. Kindness didn’t exist within them anymore. I wanted to know what it was. They were the most stunning kinds of men within the world’s standards, but I saw what the jaded eyes didn’t. Under their façade of beauty lie beasts of suffering. I noticed, so my bullies made me their target. They lashed their anger out on me. My pain excited them. I should’ve run. I should’ve been smarter than this. Yet, I couldn’t back down. I couldn’t let them win. With how messed up I was, part of me craved their cruelness, longed for their attention—even if it was only negative. Whether this mistake ended me or not, I’d never felt more alive. Now, it was just unraveling their secrets to help me win this sick and twisted game. Readers should be 18+ for explicit content. Trigger warnings for sexual and physical abuse in this series. Sexual situations happen outside the harem in this book.

Book Summary The game has changed. More secrets are coming out. They don’t think I’m equipped or smart enough to keep up… Too bad I’m still playing the game my bullies thought they already won. I’ll play my part while I study their movements. Strategy is equal parts planning and acting. It might be an impossible task to learn what’s going on, but I will over time. The board in this match is set up against me. Though, the odds have never been in my favor before. My tormentors might think our game has changed in their favor… but I’ll show them I can still win. I am a Queen after all… No one takes down a King better than a woman with her own secrets. WARNING: Explict condent. Triggers for sexual and physical abuse are in this series.

Book Summary What had I gotten myself into? This game wasn’t just for show on a board. No. These monsters played something I was foreign to. I didn’t know the rules when I started, but I didn’t know this was what the game would turn into. Still, I keep trying. I have nothing left. I’ll play until it’s done because I can’t let them win. Though, with some lingering looks and kinder words… Could my bullies be turning a new leaf? I found out who really runs this show with what’s really involved. This game isn’t being played on the board I thought it was. No, everyone is a pawn in this. Even the King himself isn’t in complete control. But maybe, Sevrin Thana and his friends are a single move being played on a larger board. I wonder if I can use this move to my advantage… Secrets become unraveled but will I learn too many? What happens when I do? \*WARNING: Explicit content. Triggers for sexual and physical abuse are in this series. \*One sex scene includes light F/F play with a M.

Book Summary Somewhere, deep inside of me… I still exist. The girl that I was… She still wants to fight and show everyone what I’ve got… But after everything I was put through, how do I overcome this? My mask had been impenetrable before, but I’m not fooling anyone with it anymore. Tears are shed in a long shower, touches are rejected, and words no longer leave my mouth. It could have been worse, but I’m still not this strong. It’s a good thing I’m not trying to stand on my own this time. Every time I fall apart, they are there. Now, it’s my turn to show them that I’m still here too. I’m a Queen who lost her kingdom. I won’t stand for it anymore. This time, it isn’t me picking myself up and straightening my crown. They do it for me. They need me to prove I can and I will now that I know where this will lead. I’ve changed my mind. This isn’t a game at all any more. This is war… \*WARNING: Contains themes for physical and sexual abuse. Not suitable for people under 18. There is a MMF sex scene in this book.

Book Summary My mind has been made up. Salvatore’s most recent play had him assuming he became the victor. That I’d crumble from his power being used. If only he knew how good I was at plotting. He should’ve asked his son how I strike back. Now, his son would help me to save those he cared for as well. In the kingdom I will one day inherit, I readied my army. My determination would surprise them all. No one hurt my guys. No one hurt my family… It’s time to up the ante. More clues, more questions. The prize had everyone’s attention. No one wanted to lose when the cost reached so high. We wouldn’t though… I was still in this game…Ready for my comeback. WARNING: Explicit content. Triggers for sexual and physical abuse are in this series. Does contain a MMF sex scene.

Book Summary There isn’t much to say. We wait for the war while trying to regroup. Secrets finally shed on how I survived the things that no one understood. Never in my life did I think it would involve the cruelest of men. That they were capable of saving me with having no humanity. Though, I did know they had their own reasons for meddling. They played their own game… History never prepared me for what I was about to face. The four of them knew things that none of us did, and they knew they held their secrets well. Now, we waited to see if accepting their help saved us or destroyed us. I mean, the Horsemen only brought one thing… WARNING: Explicit content. Triggers for sexual and physical abuse are in this series. Does contain a MMFMM sex scene.

Book Summary All the boards shifted to one. No more multiple games being played. Two sides remained in this final chess match. All of my pieces were arranged. With my men at my side, the eight of us had a chance. As the completed circle for the deadly sins, my mother was right. The number isn’t seven. We’re eight. I embraced my title now that I understood it. As the Pandora and Deceit, I had my own secret strengths. To secure allies, we did what any royal line would do. Now, it came down to this Queen taking down the former King. Salvatore Thana would fall beneath me, or I would lose to him. Either way, this would mean one word for either party… Checkmate. WARNING: Explicit content. Triggers for sexual and physical abuse are in this series. In the first chapter, there is a mild knotting scene at the end. Chapter 12 and 13 hold a group sex scene with M/M action. Please be advised before you read.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EXTENDED EPILOGUE. Sometimes, we don’t except the curveballs thrown at us. With recent revelations, we faced a whole new battle. One that wiped the board clean and reset the game. Even with all our pieces at the ready, I feared we might lose. Give me a blade, a bad guy to kill, and I will. That’s easy for me. What isn’t? Someone calling me Mommy. With the circle’s support, I still didn’t know if we could win this one. The game changed again. This one? It was called parenthood. WARNING: Chapter six contains a M/M scene.
