Six Scorched Roses: A Crowns of Nyaxia Short Novel

A standalone fantasy romance set in the stunningly epic world of Carissa Broadbent's New York Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series. This short novel is perfect for readers of The Serpent & the Wings of Night and The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King and features beautiful case wrap art!

Six roses. Six vials of blood. Six visits to a vampire who could be her salvation… or her damnation.

Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. But while she long ago came to terms with her own imminent death, the deaths of everyone she loves is an entirely different matter. As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands.

Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood—the one hope for her town’s salvation.

But when what begins as a simple transaction gradually becomes something more, Lilith is faced with a terrifying realization: It’s dangerous to wander into the clutches of a vampire…and in a place already suffering a god’s wrath, more dangerous still to fall in love with one.

Enjoyable read. Lilith was strong without having to be a fighter. Vale & Lilith were likeable. Felt sorry for Farrow though. Looking forward to seeing more of Vale & Lilith in future books.

This book was beautifully written. I’ve read all three of the Crowns of Nyaxia books and I loved the background I was able to learn on Lilith and Vale. I do now wish they had a whole full length book on just them. Carissa’s writing is just amazing and keeps me hooked the whole time. This is a great starter to get your toes wet in fantasy reading.

My only gripe with this book... it was not long enough! I loved how awkward and relatable Lilith is and how she lives in a world that does not truly accept her. This novella was a really quick read, but just as spectacular as the rest of Broadbent’s books!
