Description
From the internationally bestselling author of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Slaying the Vampire Conqueror by Carissa Broadbent is a dark fantasy romance filled with heart-pounding romance, vengeful gods and betrayal.
She was commanded to kill him with a single strike to the heart. She didn't expect her own to betray her.
Sylina has sacrificed everything for her goddess - her soul, her freedom, her eyes. Life in service to the Arachessen, a cult of the Goddess of Fate, has turned Sylina from orphaned street-rat to disciplined killer, determined to overthrow Glaea's tyrannical king.
But when a brutal vampire conqueror arrives on their shores, Sylina faces an even deadlier adversary. She's tasked with a crucial mission: infiltrate his army, earn his trust . . . and kill him.
Atrius is a terrifying warrior carving an unstoppable path through Glaea. Yet when Sylina becomes his seer, she glimpses a dark and shocking past - and a side of him that reminds her far too much of parts of herself she'd rather forget.
Sylina's orders are clear. The conqueror cannot live. But as the blood spilled by Glaea's tyrant king runs thicker, her connection with Atrius only grows stronger. A connection forbidden by her vows. A connection that could cost her everything.
Slaying the Vampire Conqueror is a standalone fantasy romance set in the Crowns of Nyaxia world, full of heart-wrenching forbidden romance, dark curses and epic battles - perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen and Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash series.
The Serpent and the Wings of Night was an instant No. 9 New York Times bestseller and USA Today bestseller on 06/12/23
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.
