Deadcrown Bride (The Deadcrown Vows)
The king died before he could kiss his bride.
Saira Veyne never wanted a crown. She never wanted a palace, a throne, or a husband chosen by blood law.
But on the night she is forced to marry the dying king of Nocthar, she wakes beside his corpse with blood on her hands, a royal dagger at her feet, and an entire court ready to call her murderer.
The priests demand her execution.
Then Prince Aurel Noctis steps from the shadows and claims her as his own.
Cold, dangerous, and feared by every noble in the kingdom, Aurel is the dead king's brother-and the only man powerful enough to keep Saira alive. But his protection comes with a price: another vow, another chain, another marriage written in blood.
Inside Crownveil Palace, twelve brides have already died for the crown.
Their portraits whisper at night.
Their wedding gowns rot beneath the chapel.
And every secret points to one impossible truth: the crown is not a symbol.
It is a living curse.
To survive, Saira must uncover who truly killed the king, why Aurel's blood turns black beneath moonlight, and why the dead brides keep calling her by a name she has never heard.
Because Saira was not chosen to wear the crown.
She was chosen to kill it.
A dark gothic romantasy filled with forced marriage, cursed royalty, blood magic, a morally gray prince, haunted brides, forbidden vows, and a heroine who refuses to kneel.
