Different lifestyle. Different High School.Riverside Prep is supposed to be the most prestigious school in New York City,little did I know it's also the cruelest.There's one faction of sovereignty reigning over the school of the elite:and they call themselves The Royals.These Royals aren't fancy nobles dripped in gold, though, no.Or typical privileged adolescents.These four guys are cold, ruthless, and take no prisoners.Besides me, that is, because for some reason I catch the eye of their leader,who's known well to be the worst of them.Crayton Shaw is not a high schooler, or a royal, he's more like Satan playing God.A psychopath with his sights set on me, and I have no idea why.He claims to hate the new girl from California...But his eyes are always on me from the shadows,his lips tempting me with brutish words,his seductive nature making me want to venture into the dark side and drown in it.Crayton's allure is almost as deadly as his wrath,and I spend most of my days trying to abstain from wanting both.To remain the good girl my father loved.But the more I'm around Crayton the more I crave his darkness.His punishment. His twisted ways.A quote I read somewhere said Hell was empty,but that's because the devil's here with me.Satan's Spawn is the first book in The Royal Heathens series of standalones.It's a dark, elite High School enemies to lovers romance with bully and stalker undertones.There are situations in this story which may be disturbing to some readers,so please be sure to check the author notes in the book before diving in. less
