Ashes and the Star-Cursed King

Filled with heartbreak, redemption, dark magic and bloodthirsty vampires, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King is the stunning second book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent. Love is a sacrifice at the altar of power. In the wake of the bloody tournament known as the Kejari, Oraya is now a prisoner in her own kingdom and grieving the only family she ever had. She`s left with only one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn, the vampire who betrayed her. The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies. Raihn`s own nobles are none too eager to accept a Turned king, especially one who was once a slave. And the House of Blood has dug their claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it apart from the inside. When Raihn offers Oraya a secret alliance, taking the deal is her only chance at reclaiming her kingdom - and seeking her revenge against the lover who betrayed her. But to do so, she`ll need to harness an ancient power, intertwined with her father`s greatest secrets. 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... The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King is a compulsive dark fantasy from Carissa Broadbent, and sequel to the New York Times bestselling The Serpent and the Wings of Night. Continue the series with The Songbird & the Heart of Stone, the third book in the addictive romantasy series.
