The Carnage We Keep
by Jagger Cole
2026
This Dark Descendants entry returns to Knightsblood University and its ruthless mafia heirs. Expect secret-society danger, family legacy pressure, and a romance shaped by dark choices.
Series background & context
Dark Descendants is Jagger Cole’s second-generation dark college romance series. It moves the world forward to Knightsblood University, where the heirs of major mafia families gather under the weight of their parents’ legacies.
The setup is big: an elite mafia college, secret societies, old rivalries, and students who are already dangerous before they ever step into a classroom. The first book, The Devil We Crave, introduces Achilles Drakos, a golden-boy campus figure with a much darker side.
It is dark academia with teeth.
The series pulls from earlier Cole families, including threads from Dark Hearts, Venomous Gods, Memento Mori, Savage Heirs, and The Darkest Dance. That makes it rewarding for longtime readers, but the books are designed so new readers can start here too.
If you want the newest generation, secret-society tension, masked danger, and mafia heirs in a college setting, begin with The Devil We Crave and move forward from there.
