Growing up as the daughter of England's most notorious mafia boss, I've always known my life was shaped by my family's dark legacy. Stepping into the halls of Castle University, though, I'm not just another Hughes—I'm the reigning queen in a deadly game of power, betrayal, and dangerous passions.

Each one is a player in the brutal game I was born into, and my heart is on the line. But as I grow closer to these four captivating men, a shadowy threat emerges, watching and predicting my every move.

They're known as the Kings of Castle.

The game is on, the pieces are set, and I have to maintain my rule at any cost. In this cutthroat world, where you're either a king or a pawn, I'm fighting not just for my heritage—I'm fighting for my life.

And when the endgame approaches, will I rule over Castle... or will I be destroyed?

This is a dark academia reverse harem with plenty of TWs. This takes place in an entirely fictional world set in the UK. This is the first book of three in the Kings of Castle.
