The Nightborn Duet
The Serpent and the Wings of Night
by Carissa Broadbent
In book one of the series we learn an essential lesson: human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same – never trust, never yield, and always, always, guard your heart. The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself. But winning won’t be easy against the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.

In the wake of the bloody tournament known as the Kejari, book two finds Oraya now a prisoner in her own kingdom and grieving. She’s left with only one certainty: she cannot trust anyone. The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies. The House of Blood has dug their claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it apart from the inside. With enemies closing in on all sides, Oraya finds herself forced to choose between the bloody reality of seizing power – and the devastating love that could be her downfall.
Standalone novella
Six Scorched Roses
by Carissa Broadbent
This Beauty and the Beast-inspired romantasy is a standalone novella set in the same world as the Crowns of Nyaxia duologies. Lilith is desperate to find a cure for the mysterious illness that is ravaging her town. So desperate, in fact, that she makes a deal with the undead. Six roses for six vials of vampire blood. But nothing is ever simple when it comes to vampires. . .
The Shadowborn Duet
The Songbird and the Heart of Stone
by Carissa Broadbent
Book three of the series introduces new character Mische. Forcibly turned into a vampire, losing her family and her home as a result, Mische is now sentenced to death for murdering the vampire prince who turned her. Rescued by Asar, the bastard prince of the House of Shadow, she is forced into a new quest to resurrect the god of death. If she betrays the mission, and Asar, she may just win back the love of the sun god, which she lost when she was turned. But sometimes, she finds, the darkness is more alluring than the light.
