About

A. L. Hart writes fiction about the things we can’t look away from — buried history, dangerous power, and the moment a character learns something they can’t unlearn.

The debut novel, The Heartbeat of a Dead God, opens The Crownbound Saga: a dark fantasy about an archivist who finds a note hidden beneath a two-hundred-year-old repair, in the handwriting of a father the Crown executed. Future books will range across romance, crime and thrillers — different worlds, the same obsession.

The Heartbeat of a Dead God

Book One of The Crownbound Saga

The city of Veyra runs on aether — it lights the streets, powers the Crown, and keeps the sick alive. The official history says the Nine gave their lives to make it, and every child learns the same line before they can read.

Mara Vale restores manuscripts in the Royal Archive on the night shift. Her job is to keep the past exactly as it was written. Then she lifts a repair patch somebody glued down two centuries ago, and finds writing underneath that was never meant to be found.
