The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King invites readers into a dark, immersive world where love and power are eternally entwined. In this gripping sequel to The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Carissa Broadbent weaves a tale that masterfully blends heart-stopping romance, dark magic, and unrelenting political intrigue.

Set in the aftermath of the bloody Kejari tournament, Oraya is left shattered and vulnerable, mourning the loss of her only family and beset with distrust. She finds herself a prisoner within her own kingdom, haunted by the betrayal of Raihn, the vampire whom she once believed in. Raihn himself is grappling with his own trials, surrounded by nobles who disdain him for his origins and resist his rule as a Turned king.

Amidst the chaos, the House of Night stands precariously poised for collapse, besieged by enemies from within and without. The formidable House of Blood seeks to exploit these weaknesses, aiming to rend the kingdom asunder. Raihn extends a desperate offer to Oraya – a clandestine alliance that could be her only hope to reclaim her throne and exact her revenge. Yet, to pursue this alliance, Oraya must delve into an ancient power deeply intertwined with her father's enigmatic secrets.

As threats converge from all sides, Oraya is thrust into a harrowing choice: to embrace the brutal reality of seizing power or to succumb to a love that has the potential to destroy her. Along her journey, she must navigate treacherous pathways, infiltrate the depths of ancient magic, and make devastating decisions that determine the fate of her kingdom and her heart.

Broadbent intricately crafts a world rich with complex characters, intense emotions, and awe-inspiring landscapes. The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King, hailed as a TikTok sensation, balances gripping action with tender moments of vulnerability, making it a compelling read for fans of fantasy and romance alike.

This edition features a detailed map to immerse readers further into the world of Nyaxia and includes a never-before-seen bonus chapter that provides deeper insight into the series' characters and plotlines. Prepare to be enthralled by a saga where every decision has far-reaching consequences and where the lines between love and power are irrevocably blurred.

About the Author

Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she writes novels that blend epic fantasy plots with a heaping dose of romance. She lives with her husband, her son, one very badly behaved rabbit and one perpetually sceptical cat in Rhode Island.
