The Songbird & the Heart of Stone: The Shadowborn Duet, Book One (Crowns of Nyaxia, 3)

New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Carissa Broadbent returns with The Songbird & the Heart of Stone, the latest installment in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, an epic fantasy romance where mortal desire clashes with divine power, reminiscent of A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Dante’s Inferno. Mische, turned into a vampire and stripped of her home, humanity, and the love of the sun god, faces execution for killing her Turned prince. Rescued by Asar, the scarred bastard prince of the House of Shadow, she is thrust into a perilous mission: a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death. Bound by a secret command from her sun god, she must betray Asar by killing the very deity they aim to revive. Together, Mische and Asar navigate deadly trials, monstrous beasts, and haunting pasts, all while resisting the dangerous pull of darkness—and their forbidden attraction. As betrayal looms and the gods grow restless, Mische must choose between the redemption of the sun or the damnation of the shadows.
