The Hunger Games meets vampires in the third book of the bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent, a heart-wrenching, epic fantasy romance of love and treachery between mortals and gods.

In the descent to the underworld, a bride of the sun must choose between the light of her redemption... or a dark love that defies the gods themselves.

Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a vampireβ€”her home, her humanity and, most devastating of all, the love of the sun god to whom she had devoted her life. Now, sentenced to death for murdering the vampire prince who Turned her, redemption feels impossible.

When Mische is saved by Asar, the bastard prince of the House of Shadow with a brutal past, she is forced into a mission worse than execution: a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself. But Mische is offered a chance at salvation by her sun god. All she has to do is betray Asarβ€”and kill the god of death.

In the underworld, Mische and Asar must face treacherous trials, colossal beasts and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. But most dangerous of all is the alluring call of the darkness, and Mische's forbidden attraction to Asar. As the moment of her betrayal looms, Mische is forced to choose between faith and loveβ€”a decision that could lead to her redemption or her ruin...

From the TikTok phenomenon and New York Times bestselling author Carissa Broadbent, The Songbird and the Heart of Stone is a brand-new book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series and the first book in the stunning Shadowborn duology.

This edition of The Songbird and the Heart of Stone features original case art and a detailed map.

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.
