Soren (Saint Valley)

When Soren Ford bribes her professors and nearly gets her expelled from Saint Valley Academy, Sophia doesn't crumble—she plots.

At the most prestigious private academy on the continent, reputation is currency, and someone just robbed Sophia blind. She knows exactly who's responsible: Soren Ford, the polished, calculating heir who wears charm like armor and cruelty like a second skin. Their families share a history soaked in bitterness, but this time he's gone too far. Sophia has spent years sharpening herself into a weapon, and now she intends to use it.

What she doesn't anticipate is how dangerous a cornered predator can be.

This dark new-adult romantasy doesn't offer a reformed villain or a softened villain-ette. Soren and Sophia are equally matched in their obsession, their malice, and their terrifying hunger for each other—two bullies locked in a spiral that blurs the line between revenge and desire. As Sophia's careful plan unravels and something far older and darker lurks beneath Saint Valley's gleaming surface, she begins to wonder whether she's been hunting Soren or whether he's been patiently, masterfully hunting her all along.

Kat King delivers a visceral, tension-soaked romance where the horror isn't just atmospheric—it lives in the quiet moments between enemies who know exactly how to destroy each other, and choose something far more terrifying instead.

This one doesn't let go.
