Princes of Chaos drops you into the most dangerous corner of Forsyth University. Verity arrives at the Purple Palace as a hopeful, becomes Princess in front of a cheering crowd, and is immediately pulled into the Palace’s brutal rituals. Pace, Wicker, and Lex — the King’s adopted sons turned Princes — are ordered to create an heir, whether any of them want it or not. That single command exposes the Palace’s real engine: surveillance, rules that grip tighter than love, and punishments that fall on whoever can withstand them. As Verity navigates the house with her quick-witted handmaiden Stella, and as West End’s Dukes push back, we see political deals, a captive in the dungeon, and a cleansing no one forgets. The book is explicit and deeply dark, yet relentless in its question: if the system is violent, can you bend it toward a future worth living? Lawson and Rue write in the relentless voice of Forsyth — cold, intense, and intimate — while always keeping Verity’s stubborn human center visible.
