A graveyard bargain with a royal price

A brother’s illness sets a gravedigger’s daughter on a dangerous course: seduce a king, become queen, and die in exchange for his life. The bargain brings her into the orbit of Kael, a ruler described as living ruin, and Vale, the figure shaping her planned death. With deception, violence, and mature content named among its dark elements, the novel frames its romantic tension around a stark conflict of survival, power, and competing intentions. Crown Me Dead opens the completed two-book Heartstring Duet; the larger story continues in Crown Me Yours.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adults interested in dark fantasy romance and dangerous royal bargains.
  • For readers who enjoy stories involving deception, intrigue, and morally dark characters.
  • For those seeking the first installment of a completed two-book series.

Book overview

THE #1 BESTSELLING DARK ROMANTASY LEAVING READERS WORLDWIDE IN TEARS.

Wed me. Bed me. Slit my throat.

Born in dirt, raised in rot, I dig graves for the dead, while the living decay around me. When my brother coughs blood, he appears. A man too polished for the graveyard, with a bargain too cruel for the light: Seduce the King. Become the Queen. Die. And my brother lives.

Kael is a nightmare of living ruin, the rotting ruler of a festering realm. And Vale is his shadow, the cold architect of my demise. One man needs my heart to beat. The other plans to stop it forever. They think I'm a pawn. But I'm the gravedigger's daughter. And I know exactly where to bury them.

Welcome to the funeral.

Darkly seductive, beautifully written, and deeply emotional, the Heartstring Duet will sweep you away into a world of forbidden desire, deadly intrigue, shocking twists, and impossible choices.

**Crown Me Dead is book one of two in the completed dark fantasy romance Heartstring Duet. Don't miss book two, Crown Me Yours. The world contains deception, mystery, violence, dark elements, and mature content. What this book doesn't contain is a hero (because villains do it better). You can find more detailed information at Liv Zander's website.**
