Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Rosalyn Stirling
Forbidden love takes a dangerous turn in this high-stakes paranormal romance, where the boundaries between savior and monster blur. Arabella, an enchantress sworn to protect her realm from soul-eating demons, finds her loyalties shattered when she is fated-mates with the very creature she was meant to destroy. When her demon lover sacrifices his freedom to restore her stolen memories, Arabella is left with nothing but a burning need for vengeance and a newfound, volatile shadow magic.
To rescue him from his eternal servitude, Arabella must strike a treacherous deal with a cunning fae prince. Their journey takes her deep into the underrealms, forcing her to harness a dark power that threatens to consume her humanity. As she gathers an army of vengeful fae, she realizes that saving her mate might require the ultimate sacrifice: the destruction of the world she once called home.
Perfect for fans of steamy, high-fantasy romance, this sequel delivers intense action and a simmering, forbidden connection that mirrors the heat of A Court of Silver Flames. With its gripping blend of demon-deals, royal intrigue, and a heroine ready to burn it all down, this installment promises a wild, addictive ride that concludes on a heart-stopping cliffhanger.

There’s a lot of information tying this story back to the previous book - so much so that, with all these steps back, it could almost work as a standalone. But then? It hits. And when it does - straight to the heart.💘🪄 And here’s where everything shifts - Arabella...

I have been patiently (impatiently) waiting for this book since book 1 ended on that crazy cliffhanger!

The way Rosalyn was able to effortlessly world build as much as she did in this book, being as it was book 2 already, was so impressive. At no point did I have to reread due to confusion on what was going on, it all flowed so effortlessly. If...
