Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Lyonne Riley
Bound by an ancient summons and a debt of one hundred tasks, Kireth is a trickster god carved from stone and brought to life solely to sow chaos. When he is called upon by Faela, a desperate peasant struggling to save her crumbling farm, he expects a simple game of manipulation. As a demon of mischief, he is more than happy to interpret her requests in the most inconvenient ways possible. Yet, the farm holds a dark, rotting secret that defies even his supernatural curiosity.
This steamy paranormal romance masterfully blends a whimsical fairytale atmosphere with the high stakes of a dangerous bargain. As Kireth fulfills his duties, he finds his capricious heart unexpectedly tethered to the steadfast woman who refuses to break. What begins as a transactional arrangement quickly spirals into a fight for survival against forces that threaten to tear them apart.
Lyonne Riley delivers a captivating standalone that explores the consequences of forbidden deals and the transformative power of love. If you crave a story featuring a temperamental, immortal hero and a resilient heroine who holds her own against a god, this is your next obsession. Expect sharp wit, simmering tension, and a guaranteed happy ending.

“Yes, I can stay with my farm girl for as long as our short lives will allow. I can love her until she’s old and gray and we have a different dog with a different name.” ) One person found this helpful

Kireth and Faela have absolutely wrecked me in the best way possible. Probably my favorite pair of Lyonne's characters. So glad to have discovered this author and all of the wonderful tales she weaves ❤️ ) One person found this helpful

This was a really cute novella. The characters were fleshed out with an entertaining plot that really could be a fascinating full fledged book (or a duology) with the worldbuilding and characters introduced )
