Crown Me Dead

What if the crown destined for your head was also destined to kill you?



Elara Graves has spent her life among the dead. As the daughter of a gravekeeper, she knows exactly how every story ends: with a coffin, a grave, and a name carved into stone. But when her dying brother's life hangs by a thread, a mysterious stranger offers her an impossible bargain.



Travel to the capital. Marry the king. Save her brother.



There is only one catch.



Queens do not survive in Valoria.



Behind the glittering palace walls lurks a kingdom rotting from within. A cursed crown whispers in the dark. Dead queens haunt forgotten halls. Noble families sharpen their knives behind painted smiles. And somewhere beneath the throne sleeps an ancient power hungry for blood.



Caught between a beautiful king doomed by a terrible curse and the dangerous man sworn to protect him, Elara finds herself trapped in a deadly game where every secret carries a price and every heartbeat draws her closer to ruin.



But the greatest danger is not the curse.



It is love.



Because in Valoria, love is not salvation.



Love is obsession.



Love is betrayal.



Love is the blade that cuts deepest.



Dark, addictive, emotionally devastating, and impossible to put down, Crown Me Dead is a gothic romantasy filled with cursed royalty, forbidden desire, shocking betrayals, deadly secrets, and a heroine destined to either save a kingdom or burn it to the ground.
