By day, they’re Holloway’s golden boys. By night, they’re its best-kept secret. Cassian Vale. Rhys Mercer. Nikolai Arden. Jude Calloway. Kieran Ashford. Five wealthy university students with powerful surnames, spotless futures and a reputation that follows them across campus. Nobody knows what happens after dark. Beneath an abandoned East London warehouse lies The Hollow—an illegal fighting circuit built on blood, gambling, debts and secrets. And the five men everyone knows at university? They run it. Y/N was never supposed to find out. She only follows her best friend, Marlowe, because something isn’t right. Missing lectures. Borrowed money. Unanswered messages. Lies. She expects trouble. She doesn’t expect hundreds of people screaming around a bloodstained fighting ring. And she definitely doesn’t expect to climb straight into it and demand her friend back. That should’ve been the end of it. Instead, it puts Y/N directly on Cassian Vale’s radar. Now university feels different. The bruised knuckles hidden beneath sleeves. Conversations that stop when she approaches. Familiar faces appearing at The Hollow. Powerful families protecting secrets nobody wants uncovered. Because the fighting isn’t the darkest thing happening beneath London. Someone is manipulating The Hollow. Money is disappearing. Debts don’t add up. Fights are being fixed. Police know things they shouldn’t. And Marlowe hasn’t told Y/N the whole truth. Between lectures, deadlines, parties, friendships, dangerous attraction and nights spent somewhere she was never supposed to discover, Y/N is dragged deeper into a world hiding directly beneath her own. The Kings might run The Hollow. But someone else is playing with their empire. And now they’ve noticed her too. Welcome to Holloway. Try not to bleed.
