You can do it. But the expectation has to be set that this is possible, and it should be written like a tragedy. The market for such a book may be small, but it isn't nonexistent. Check out the grimdark genre (third law series is an example). People do buy into it and even like it. But it's unlikely to sell as wide as something that has a feel good ending. Or, go see the musical Hamilton. As a writer you'll have to be excellent to even have a chance. And putting "the tragedy of" in your title might not be a bad idea.
