Precarious: The Game of Spades

NOTE: This book was formerly known as THE GAME OF HEARTS.

The Castello Di Carte Universe is filled with suspense and heart-wrenching plots. Every book in the series is dedicated to a different couple, which means you can read them as standalones, but reading them chronologically is recommended.

FAIR WARNING: The book is about to be published on Amazon, June 2026, so the chapters you read here are not updated or edited. The edited version will only be available on Patreon (Shreya Sengupta) and on Amazon. To know more, follow me on Instagram @author_shreyasengupta.

Fair warning, I am neither Italian nor Greek nor Russian nor Spanish, so all the phrases used in the book are translated via Google and we all know how pervy Google can be sometimes. So have mercy. You’re free to correct them, it would help me a lot.

Now. IT’S FINALLY HERE. Sorry, but I think I’m allowed to scream because I’m friggin’ excited. The dark romance I’ve been planning for the longest time—Castello Di Carte—is finally here. CDC was supposed to be one of the books in the series but later I finally decided it to be the series name. Along the way, as I planned the books and added more characters, the possibility of creating an entire universe just flashed before my eyes.

CDC now has a Facebook group. You can search CASTELLO DI CARTE MAFIA CHRONICLES or simply visit the link attached in my bio.

If you find any ship worth rooting for, do let me know and I might make it happen. I’ll try my best, but won’t make any promises. I won’t be telling you which characters I’ve shipped and planned books for, you’ll have to stick around to find out.

I appreciate constructive criticism, but just don’t be too rude about it. But most importantly, this is the first draft, so don’t expect it to be completely polished and error-free. I will edit the books once the series is complete.

Enjoy and don’t forget to vote and comment if you like it.
