Feathers So Vicious: a Dark Fantasy Romance – Liv Zander

Feathers So Vicious plunges readers into a hauntingly beautiful world of shadows, power, and forbidden desires. The story follows Galantia, a young woman torn between two morally gray raven shifters, Malyr and Sebian, whose dark pasts and twisted ambitions threaten to consume her. Set in a forgotten kingdom ruled by betrayal and blood, the novel weaves a tale of survival, redemption, and the blurred lines between love and obsession.

Malyr, a vengeful and tormented soul, sees Galantia as a pawn in his quest for retribution, while Sebian offers her a dangerous allure of protection and passion. As secrets unravel and loyalties fracture, Galantia must navigate a labyrinth of lies, violence, and her own growing attraction to both men. The court of ravens is a place where trust is a weapon and love is a battlefield—every whispered promise hides a dagger.

Zander’s lush prose and intricate world-building bring the eerie, ancient setting to life, blending visceral action with raw emotional stakes. Themes of power, sacrifice, and the cost of vengeance simmer beneath the surface, while the morally complex characters challenge readers to root for the “villains.” The novel’s pacing keeps you hooked, balancing slow-burn tension with explosive twists that redefine what it means to love a monster.

The book’s dark elements—violence, psychological manipulation, and themes of captivity—are balanced by moments of tenderness and resilience. Galantia’s journey is one of self-discovery, as she learns to wield her agency in a world determined to break her. The dynamic between the trio is electric, blending heartbreak and desire in equal measure.

Despite its grim themes, Feathers So Vicious delivers a gripping, character-driven story that lingers long after the final page. Fans of dark romance and fantasy will find themselves enthralled by its unflinching exploration of love in its ugliest, most beautiful forms.
