From New York Times Bestseller and BookTok sensation Rina Kent comes the first generation of the thrilling Legacy of Gods series.

There’s a girl.
Beautiful. Popular. Fake.
And also my obsession.
My downfall.
Probably my damnation.

There’s a line between right and wrong, moral and immoral.
And then there’s her.

She makes me cross every limit with blood-coated fingers.
She says she hates me.
I say I hate her too -
as I trap her, claim her.
Make her mine.

Legacy of Gods

Power isn’t inherited—it’s carved, claimed, and bled for.

Set in the elite halls of Royal Elite University, Legacy of Gods is a dark romance series that strips away the polish of privilege to expose something far more brutal: obsession, betrayal, and a hunger for control disguised as love. At the heart of this world are the heirs—children of ruthless kings and queens who ruled before them—now left to fight for dominance in their own twisted games of desire and power.

But this isn’t just a story of enemies and lovers. It’s a layered descent into emotional chaos, where every glance can cut deeper than a blade, and every touch threatens to unravel carefully guarded secrets. Each book crackles with electric chemistry, while never letting you forget the danger lurking behind every soft word or seductive smile.

What makes this series resonate isn't just the scandal or the angst—though there’s plenty of both. It’s the way vulnerability and violence dance together. The fragile parts of these characters—ones they never intended to show—become the very weapons that change everything.

Perfect for readers drawn to morally gray heroes, forbidden dynamics, and psychological tension that tightens with each page, Legacy of Gods doesn't ask for your attention. It takes it—and doesn’t let go.
