Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent

Set in the same stunningly epic world as The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Carissa Broadbent’s Six Scorched Roses is a short romantasy novel inspired by Beauty and the Beast. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout, and readers who love dark, romantic tales with bite.

Six roses. Six vials of blood. Six visits to a vampire who could be her salvation . . . or her damnation.

Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. But although she came to terms with her own imminent death long ago, the deaths of everyone she loves is an entirely different matter. As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands.

Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood – the only hope for her town’s salvation.

But what begins as a simple transaction gradually becomes something more. Lilith is faced with a terrifying realization: it’s dangerous to wander into the clutches of a vampire . . . and, in a place already suffering the wrath of a god, more dangerous still to fall in love with one.

Achingly romantic, moving and enthralling in equal measures, Six Scorched Roses is a short novel set in the world of Carissa Broadbent’s bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

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.
