Redwood Prep isn't just any private school—it's the kingdom of Dutch Cross, lead singer of The Kings, and his equally gorgeous brothers. With his amber eyes, chiseled jawline, and voice that could make angels weep, Dutch prowls the hallways like he owns every inch. He's brutal, untouchable, and beastly—the kind of monster who breaks people for sport.
When Dutch's golden eyes meet yours across the crowded hallway, you know you're his next prey. The monster wants you out of Redwood, but this fancy private school is your last chance at a better life for your sister. No one has ever dared to go against Dutch and his circle of power. You're honored to be the first.
As a gifted musical prodigy, you've faced bullies before, but Dutch is in a league of his own. He's not just your typical high school tormentor—he's a rockstar with a following, a leader who commands respect through fear. His cruelty is calculated, his dominance absolute. Yet there's something about the way he watches you, the tension crackling between you two that suggests there's more to this story than meets the eye.
The Darkest Note is the first book in the complete Redwood Kings trilogy, telling the story of how a cruel prince meets his match in the one person brave enough to defy him. This dark romance contains strong bully themes and explores the complex relationship between power and vulnerability. When kings and monsters collide, they always have a weakness—and for Dutch, his weakness might just be you.
Perfect for fans of extreme enemies-to-lovers dynamics, unapologetic alpha heroes, and high school settings with a dark edge. The complete trilogy is ready for you to binge-read from start to finish.
