The Sacrifice (The Lords #3)

PROLOGUE

L.O.R.D.

A Lord takes his oath seriously. Only blood cements the commitment to serve those who demand absolute devotion.

He is a Leader. He believes in Order. He knows when to Rule. He is a Deity.

Initiation is mandatory to become a member, yet removal can occur at any time, for any reason. Survive the three trials of initiation, and power and wealth are yours forever. But not all Lords are created equal. Some are stronger, smarter, hungrier than others.

They are challenged to see how far their loyalty will stretch.

They are pushed to their limits to prove their devotion.

They are willing to demonstrate their commitment.

Nothing short of their lives will suffice.

Limits will be tested. Morals will be forgotten.

A Lord acts as judge, jury, and executioner. He holds power unmatched by anyone save his brothers.

Chosen One:

A Lord must remain celibate during his first three years at Barrington University. Once initiated into the Lords, he is bestowed a Chosen One for his senior year.

A Lady:

Upon graduation from Barrington, they are to marry a Lady—a wife bound to serve him. Should he die before her, she is gifted to another Lord, ensuring the secrets remain within the brotherhood.
