The Edge Of Reason Novel By Michelle Torlot

Charlotte will never fit in with the elites of Lupin Prep. She knows it; they know it. But goddess, if she doesn’t give it her all. As a low-ranking, half-breed scholarship student, she tries her damnedest to survive in a place where her very life is at risk. They all have the power to destroy her - to burn her universe to ashes. Yet, one threat towers above the rest: the school’s unrivaled rulers — the Devil Triplets, Caeson, Taide, and Reigh. Identical heirs to the throne who have sworn, and kept their promise, to make Charlotte the Harlot’s life hell on earth. But then, the second semester of Junior year around, and the moment she sets eyes on them, she knows the moon goddess made a mistake. Because in no reality can the same people who seek to ruin her life be the ones she’s been fated to for eternity. Charlotte tries to reject them. But they refuse to let her. She’d rather drown in a pool of lava than fall for them, but according to the Devil Triplets, the fun has only just begun.

I stepped closer. Close enough to smell his cologne—cedarwood, leather, and power. My hand moved. Smooth, practiced. The pistol slide from under the apron into my palm. I raised it fast. But before I could pull the trigger— BANG. Not my shot. A scream tore through the restaurant as another man launched himself toward Romano’s table, blade flashing. Another assassin. What the hell— Romano didn’t flinch. He shoved the table forward, knocking the attacker off balance. The blade scraped across wood, not skin. I ducked instinctively as the room erupted into chaos. Gunfire cracked. Glass exploded. People screamed and dove for cover. “Get him out—NOW!” one of the guards barked. I aimed for the second attacker. Didn’t even hesitate. One shot—head. Gone. The guard saw me. Confusion flashed in his eyes. Then rage. I ran. I weaved between overturned chairs, plates, and screaming bodies. The smell of blood was real now, thick in the air. One of the guards grabbed me. I slammed my elbow into his ribs, twisted, and brought the butt of my gun down on his skull. He dropped like a sack of bricks. Out. I had to get out. My boots pounded the floor as I tore through the narrow hallway. But then— “Elisa.” His voice stopped me cold. I turned. Antonio Romano stood in the middle of the carnage, suit untouched, blood spattered behind him like art. His eyes were on me. And he was smiling. It was darker. Slower. Like a hunter seeing something worth chasing. Somehow, he knew who I was. “Interesting,” he said softly, tilting his head. “They sent you.” I didn’t answer. I ran. But that voice followed me. He knew my name. And he let me go. This wasn’t over. It had just begun.
