The gates of Royal Elite Academy rose high, a testament to wealth and power. For Xander Knight, this was more than a school—it was his empire. At six-foot-three, with a sharp mind, a fit, muscular frame, and piercing blue eyes, he was everything the academy revered. Born into the legendary Knight family, Xander had power in his blood and confidence in his stride.

At his side were his best friends—Cole Nash, the smooth-talking charmer; Ronan Astron, the fearless rebel; and Aiden King - the calm and calculating genius. Together, they were the Horsemen, the school’s untouchable elite. Admired, feared, and envied, they ruled Royal Elite with ease.

This term should have been no different, but rumors had already started swirling. A new transfer was coming—someone from outside their exclusive world. The idea didn’t sit well with Xander. Surprises weren’t his style, but curiosity gnawed at him.

This person was an enigma, someone who didn’t belong to the usual ranks of royalty, billionaires, or titans of industry.

Xander couldn’t shake the feeling of curiosity. Who dared to step into his domain into the hallowed halls of the Royal Elite without a legacy to stand on? Surprises weren’t his thing, but he couldn’t deny the intrigue that churned in his gut.

As he walked into the grand marble courtyard, flanked by Cole, Ronan, and Aiden, Xander caught a flicker of unease on the horizon. Whoever this newcomer was, they’d just become part of the game.
