The Songbird and the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent – A Dark Fantasy Romance of Gods, Vampires, and Forbidden Love

Return to the breathtaking world of the Crowns of Nyaxia series with The Songbird and the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent, a gripping romantasy filled with deadly trials, ancient gods, slow-burn romance, and a journey through the underworld itself.

Mische lost everything when she was forcibly turned into a vampire—her humanity, her future, and the devotion she once shared with the powerful sun god she served. Now condemned for a crime that has left her facing execution, redemption feels far beyond reach.

But when she is unexpectedly spared by Asar, the scarred and enigmatic bastard prince of the House of Shadow, Mische is drawn into a mission more dangerous than death itself. Together, they must descend into the underworld on a perilous quest to resurrect the god of death.

As they face terrifying trials, ancient magic, and the ghosts of their pasts, an undeniable connection begins to grow between them. Bound by fate, danger, and forbidden attraction, Mische and Asar must decide whether to follow the will of the gods—or risk everything for each other.

Rich with haunting world-building, emotional depth, and unforgettable romance, The Songbird and the Heart of Stone combines the dark allure of vampire fantasy with mythological adventure.

About the Author:

Carissa Broadbent is a rising queen of romantasy, enchanting readers with her addictive blend of fierce heroines, morally gray love interests, and fantasy realms you’ll want to dive right into (even if there are monsters lurking in the shadows). Best known for The Serpent & the Wings of Night and The Nightborn Duet, Carissa writes stories where power, passion, and danger collide—often with a dagger to the heart and a kiss that follows.

Her writing is rich with tension—romantic and otherwise—and her characters are layered, complex, and totally unforgettable. Whether it's a deadly tournament, a crown at stake, or a romance that simmers (then sizzles), Carissa keeps readers on the edge of their seats and begging for more.

If you love fantasy that's fierce, emotional, and just the right amount of dark, Carissa Broadbent is your next obsession.
