Pawn (Colosseum University: McCready Crest Book 1)
Colosseum University—in this arena, paranormals of different species battle to climb a caste system the rest of the world doesn’t even know about.
Students are taught it’s a fight to the death to survive, humans who dare visit will probably get eaten by more than lions… And two men may enter, but only one can finish first.
Long ago, packs, covens, and the rest of a failing social system were done away with. Instead, crests were implemented, to sprinkle the species equally, while also forcing each new generation to spread their wings, and parents, who might never die, from forever controlling their children.
And for someone like Doyle McCready, who knows he’s nothing but a pawn to his parents, the only way to be free of them is to build a crest strong enough… Even if it’s full of issue-laced people like himself. It’s not like Doyle would risk what they’ve built on a whim when he’s committed to their current path. What man would do something as foolish as that for a gorgeous stranger?
