The Songbird and the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent (Paperback)

New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Carissa Broadbent returns to the world of Nyaxia with the third novel in her Crowns of Nyaxia series, where A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Dante’s Inferno in an epic fantasy romance of love and treachery between mortals and gods.

Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a vampire: 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 killing the vampire prince who Turned her, redemption feels utterly out of reach.

But when Mische is saved by Asar, the scarred bastard prince of the House of Shadow, a man with a past as brutal as his wounds, she’s forced into a mission that may be worse than execution itself: a perilous journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death.

Together, Mische and Asar must brave a treacherous path beset by trials, beasts and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. Yet most dangerous of all is the darkness itself, and the forbidden pull she feels towards Asar, a bond that risks invoking the fury of the gods.

Perfect for readers who love an epic romantasy, a brooding scarred hero, and a dark, mythic love story of gods, vampires and forbidden desire.
