Elze, the villainess, was Marquis Oppenheyer's plaything, used and unloved, fated to die at the hands of the three male leads. Now, a reader finds herself in Elze's shoes. In order to save her life, Elze must first ingratiate herself with the male leads. As the evil superintendent of a nefarious boarding school, Elze is pinned between embattled student Lucian, the kidnapped son of a duke, her own murderous marquis, and a guild master–one of whom may be her ticket to freedom from her doomed fate.
