The Crown That Lied to Her: A Dark Fae Romantic Suspense

By Iris Kade

Lenora Vale receives a crown in a black box.

The note says:

YOU WERE HIS QUEEN BEFORE HE EXECUTED YOU.

Lenora is mortal. She restores old books for a living, pays rent late, and has no memory of any throne.

Then a fae king steps through her mirror, kneels in her apartment, and calls her wife.

Kael Morcant says he killed her once because she begged him to. He says the court that crowned her wants her dead again. He says the black crown on her table is not a relic.

It is a prison.

Lenora should run from him.

Instead, the crown whispers his name in her sleep.

Across a winter court of stolen names, false rebels, living vows, and beautiful monsters, every memory Lenora recovers changes the crime.

She was not reincarnated. She was hidden.
The king was not only her murderer. He was her jailer.
And the thing inside the crown may be the part of herself that wanted them both destroyed.

The Crown That Lied to Her is part of the Velvet Wounds series, a dark fae romantic suspense novel with romantasy tension, enemies-to-lovers heat, fated mates, forced proximity, cursed royalty, court betrayal, multiple plot twists, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
