Strayforth doesn’t fall like a rival corporation. It is ground down, absorbed into Lachlan until Xavier Morvant’s empire becomes vapor—dust in the wind. When the paperwork settles, only two living remnants remain: Camille and Savina. Camille, ever the opportunist, wastes no time. She pivots straight toward his gravity and slides into his orbit with the ease of someone who has never confused survival with shame. She believes she can outplay the estate. She believes that proximity to him is protection—power borrowed, not granted. Savina is different. She resists with a clean spine—too proud, too furious, too intact to be smoothly absorbed. The Circle’s answer isn’t force. Because the Circle doesn’t simply “initiate” people. It reveals them—through awe, through humiliation, through belonging that feels like sanctuary until it becomes a blade. Savina is pulled into the sisterhood’s highest highs and lowest lows, but with Noa’s gaze constantly on her—sometimes as refuge, sometimes as a feeling she never intended to have. They come thinking it’s for survival….but in reality, they will face their own breakdown.
