Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet Book 1)

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.

Crown Me Dead is a dark fantasy romance novel, and book one in the Heartstring Duet. The two-part story features deception, mystery, more deception, a handsome liar, and the woman who wants to bury him, along with a HUDDTPMYL... Happily Until Death Does Them Part Many Years Later (yes, the author made that up). This world contains dark elements, violence, and themes some may find disturbing. Readers can find more detailed information on www.livzander.com. What this book doesn't contain is a hero - because villains do it better.

Liv has an unhealthy love for sexy villains. To cure herself of her poor choice in men, she's currently undergoing therapy, but who can afford that these days? To fund her co-pays, she's writing deliciously dark fantasy romance about the men who would burn the world to the ground for their women. Is that counter-productive? Probably, but it's also a lot of fun.

When she's not joking around, she can be found procrastinating in her office with a mug of coffee or a glass of wine (depending on time of day and how miserable the writing is going). Oh, she also loves skulls. And ravens. And skulls.
