In Monsters Wear Crowns, debut author Adeline Humphries delivers a dark romance where obsession is power, love is a battlefield, and monsters rule the city. Perfect for fans of ruthless CEO's, morally gray antiheroes, and high-stakes passion.

Monsters don’t hide in shadows. They rule from thrones.

Adela Sinclair built her empire with fire and code, protecting the most powerful criminals in NYC. She’s untouchable—until the worst one imaginable stalks her.

Rafe Vaughan is a king without a crown—a monster draped in luxury and violence. He doesn’t ask. He takes. And he’s set his sights on her to shield his own empire from a brewing war.

Drawn by power, bound by lust, she agrees. But when his greatest rival turns his blade toward her, their fragile alliance twists into something far more dangerous. In his thirst for control, will she become the first woman he’s ever loved? Or a liability he cannot afford?

Monsters wear crowns.

And in the end, only one will rule.

MONSTERS CARVE THRONES

Monsters Carve Thrones is the savage and emotional second book in the Crowned Monsters series—a story of survival, obsession, and the kind of love that leaves a body count.

Adela Sinclair is not a woman you cage.

Kidnapped by a former ally of the man she helped destroy, Adela is thrust into a nightmare across the ocean, where cruelty wears a suit and monsters don’t bother hiding their teeth. Every day is a battle to survive. But she is resilient. Ruthless. Unbreakable.

And while she bleeds behind enemy walls, Rafe Vaughan, fueled by reckless fury and an obsessive love, tears through enemies left and right.

When Adela rises from the wreckage of her captivity, she’s not the same woman they tried to break.

She’s a force. And she’s seeking vengeance with the Dark Monster of New York City at her side.

This time, they’re not just fighting back.

They’re carving their throne from the bones of anyone who had a hand in her suffering.
