The Ritual by Shantel Tessier
Welcome to Barrington University, where power isn’t earned—it’s taken. At the heart of the campus lies The Lords, a secret society where the elite exchange blood for influence and violence for control.
Blakely has spent her life trapped by the expectations of her wealthy family, her every move planned out for her. When Ryat Alexander Archer offers her a way out, she thinks she’s finally found freedom. But in the world of The Lords, nothing is free. Forced into a "chosen one" role, Blakely becomes a pawn in a twisted game of possession where she must serve, obey, and belong to Ryat. What started as an escape quickly spirals into a fight for survival in a world where the only exit is death.
