Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Thalia Tredici
Fifteen years after her husband was brutally murdered and she was left for dead, Katherina Ravenshire remains a pariah in her own village. Blind, widowed, and desperate, she harbors a singular, burning ambition: to see those who destroyed her life pay in blood. Her salvation arrives in the form of Az’Kael, a formidable demon of vengeance who emerges from the shadows with a seductive ultimatum.
This gripping paranormal romance masterfully weaves together dark fantasy tropes, including high-stakes demon deals and immersive hell-realm intrigue. When Katherina accepts Az’Kael’s offer of power, she is bound to him body and soul, thrust into a volatile partnership where every touch burns like hellfire. As they hunt her enemies, the line between retribution and desire begins to blur, forcing Katherina to question the true price of her pact.
Perfect for readers who crave short, spicy, and atmospheric monster romances with a Victorian-era edge, this novella delivers a visceral journey of transformation. Thalia Tredici explores the dangerous intersection of trauma and obsession, leaving the reader to wonder if Katherina is truly in control or if she has finally found her dark match. Will she achieve her vengeance, or will she lose herself to the monster who owns her soul?
