N2  - The chosen one. Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above all--the most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one. I vow. You vow. We vow. People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it's not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever had--freedom. I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want. After being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death. --Back cover
