About this audiobook
Niamh has spent fourteen years cataloguing the treasures King Aldric stole from her dead family. Fourteen years smiling. Fourteen years waiting. When the king begins dying of a poison no one can name, he pulls her into his confidence to find the killer.
She already knows who it is. She is the killer.
Every day she hunts herself is another day in his library, in his trust, in his bed. Every night she slows the poison just enough to keep him alive. Because a dead king gives her nothing, and a living one is starting to look at her like she might be the only honest thing left in his court. The King's Cruel Crown is a dark enemies to lovers romantasy about a woman who poisons the man she is falling for, and the crown she takes from his corpse.
