She came to Ashborne University on a scholarship. She didn't come for a secret society.
When Wren Calder becomes the first woman admitted to the Order of Bone—a centuries-old brotherhood that has produced presidents, CIA directors, and men who kill to keep their secrets—she expects hazing. She doesn't expect the four men who run it.
Atlas Kessler—the Sovereign. Cold. Commanding. His grey eyes pin her like a specimen. He voted to admit her, and he won't say why.
Rhys Maddox—the Keeper. Built like a weapon. Assigned to punish her. His scarred hands are supposed to hurt. They don't.
Silas Ashborne—the Legacy. Golden. Gentle. His family built this university on secrets, and he knows every one.
Locke Vane—the Shadow. Chaotic. Brilliant. The only one who treats her as an equal—and the most dangerous because of it.
In the candlelit chambers beneath the oldest chapel on campus, surrounded by walls of human bone, Wren discovers that the Order doesn't just run the school. It runs the world. And the ritual they want to resurrect requires a sacrifice.
The thirteenth seat was never empty. It was waiting.
The Initiation is Book 1 of The Order of Bone, a dark why-choose romance series featuring a fierce heroine, four morally grey love interests, secret society rituals, and explicit content for readers 18+. Ends on a cliffhanger.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
