Abel Hartford reigns at Malum Kings College. They awarded me a full scholarship to the most prestigious collegiate academy on the East Coast. The thing is, I never applied. Despite that, I’ve never been one to let an opportunity pass, so I accept the anonymous generosity. Abel is not happy about my decision. We were close once, when our parents were married, but he’s completely changed, and not for the better. Now I have to see him every single day, whether I want to or not. He won’t let a moment pass without reminding me that I do not belong in his world. Pranks and gossip distract me from all I’ve ever wanted: an education to rise above. If it wasn’t for Blake and Kailey, I'd tuck my tail and leave Malum. Abel would win. I’m glad I'm staying. As the year goes by, Abel’s cruelty hardens me. It teaches me lessons I should’ve learned years ago. Lessons I won’t need to learn twice. If Abel thinks he can banish me from his so-called court, he’d better think again. I have just as much right to be here as he does. Perhaps it's time for a queen to overthrow the king. Due to intense subject matter, Malum Kings College isn't intended for readers under 17.

Abel Hartford still reigns at Malum Kings College. He is so much more powerful with me by his side. Abel did his best and made sure I knew I didn’t belong in his prestigious world. What he didn’t realize is I never even wanted to belong. College was only supposed to be a way out of the pauper class, not a way to reign. When push came to literal shove, I wasn’t about to let Abel’s bullying deter me... moreAbel Hartford still reigns at Malum Kings College. He is so much more powerful with me by his side. Abel did his best and made sure I knew I didn’t belong in his prestigious world. What he didn’t realize is I never even wanted to belong. College was only supposed to be a way out of the pauper class, not a way to reign. When push came to literal shove, I wasn’t about to let Abel’s bullying deter me. I turned the tables, and by submitting to the king, I made him want me more than he’d ever wanted anybody. He burns for me. An unintended consequence is that I yearn for him just as strongly. That’s okay. Now I’m the queen. With the king by my side, Malum Kings College offers more than just an education. It has now presented me with a future a girl like me could never have imagined. I’m no longer a guest in Abel’s court, but a queen prepared to claim the throne. Due to intense subject matter, Malum Kings College isn’t intended for readers under 17. less
