Books like Queen of Rot & Pain

Crowned in rot and pain, and wearing it well. Liv Zander takes enemies to lovers into a romantasy world that is anything but pretty. Moody and decayed, explicit in heat. Desire growing out of ruin. If you want fantasy with gothic grime under its fingernails, this one fits. Not cosy, not trying to be. Skim the warnings before the first chapter.
