As the daughter of the most feared mafia leader in England, I've always known my destiny was written in the shadows of my family's legacy. But when I step through the hallowed halls of Castle University, my life becomes more than a mere extension of the Hughes empire-I become the queen on a chessboard of power, betrayal, and forbidden desire.

They call them the Kings of Castle.

Each of them is a piece in a game I was born to play, and the stakes are my heart. But as I draw closer to each of these four magnetic men, an unseen threat looms over us, a dark presence that knows my every move before I make it.

The game has begun, the pieces are moving, and I must keep my throne at all costs. Because in this world of kings and pawns, I am not just playing for my legacy-I am playing for my life.

And when the final move is made, will I stand as the ruler of Castle...or will I fall?

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 Royals of Castle.
