Kindergarten Royale

Forget about grades. Getting into the Ivy League depends on only one thing: surviving the right preschool.

There are only 10 spots available at Manhattan’s exclusive Alpha Academy. But securing one isn’t about acing an interview; it’s about winning a war.

The selection process is a legalized Battle Royale for parents. It’s not a fight to the physical death, but to social and financial ruin. The rules are simple: anything goes. From industrial espionage and planting drugs in designer handbags to the total destruction of a rival’s reputation.

The conflict ignites when Elena, a struggling middle-class mom, thinks she’s won the lottery by entering the race. But she soon uncovers the terrifying truth hiding behind the school’s gates:

In this preschool, the kids don’t play. At three years old, they are being trained to become psychopathic little brokers.

Elena must decide how far she is willing to go to secure her son’s future in a world where empathy is a liability and cruelty is the only mandatory subject.
