The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King: Book 2 of the Nightborn Duet

nFrom the New York Times bestselling author Carissa Broadbent, comes The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King, the gutting second installment of the Crowns of Nyaxia series, full of heartbreak, redemption, blood intrigue and heart-pounding action. n nLove is a sacrifice at the altar of power. n nIn the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood. She's left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn. n nRaihn's own nobles are none too eager to accept a Turned king, especially one who was once a slave. And the House of Blood digs their claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it apart from the inside. n nWhen Raihn offers Oraya a secret alliance, taking the deal is her only chance at reclaiming her kingdom-and gaining her vengeance against the lover who betrayed her. But to do so, she'll need to harness a devastating ancient power, intertwined with her father's greatest secrets. n nBut with enemies closing in on all sides, nothing is as it seems. As she unravels her past and faces her future, Oraya finds herself forced to choose between the bloody reality of seizing power--and the devastating love that could be her downfall. n nCrowns of Nyaxia Reading Order: nThe Serpent & the Wings of Night nThe Ashes & the Star-Cursed King nThe Songbird & the Heart of Stone n nCrowns of Nyaxia Standalones nSix Scorched Roses (short novel) nSlaying the Vampire Conquerorn
