Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent
4.75
Spice Rating: 🌶️ / 5
This was the perfect novella to read in between The Serpent and the Wings of Night and its sequel, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King.
Six Scorched Roses is a novella that follows Lillith--a human whose town is riddled with a rapidly-spreading plague. In order to find a cure, Lillith decides to turn against the god of her town and seek assistance from one of Nyaxia's children--a vampire named Lord Vale. Lillith promises Vale six special roses in exchange for six vials of his blood so she might try to find a cure for the plague. In the process, the two find out that they have much more in common than the world has told them they do.
I'm currently reading The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King, and I loved being able to peek into Lillith's and Vale's story before seeing them appear in the sequel. Carissa Broadbent writes such beautiful love stories, and I'm so glad she added this novella to the Crowns of Nyaxia universe.
