Crown Me Dead
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.

Liv Zander
Liv Zander has always been drawn to the darker corners of fantasy, where villains are as magnetic as the heroes they oppose. Her obsession with sexy anti-heroes and flawed, captivating characters has fueled a literary journey that blends sultry romance with unapologetic grit. For Liv, writing isn’t just a passion—it’s a rebellion. She crafts stories where love isn’t always sweet, and the men are just as likely to set the world on fire as they are to save it.
Born in Germany and currently living somewhere between reality and fantasy, Liv's journey into writing started in the most unlikely of ways. She’d been an avid reader all her life, but it wasn’t until she found herself in therapy (because of a very real love for morally ambiguous men) that the first seeds of her dark romance novels were planted. Who knew that a little therapy could turn into King of Flesh and Bone—the book that started her career in 2022 and took the fantasy romance world by storm?
