Six Scorched Roses – by Carissa Broadbent
Book 1.5 in the Crowns of Nyaxia Series

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

Lilith has always known she’s dying—but when a god-cursed illness begins to claim the lives of those she loves, she refuses to go down without a fight. Her last hope lies with Vale: a terrifying, powerful vampire the gods themselves despise.

She offers a deal—six roses in exchange for six vials of blood. But what begins as a desperate bargain soon becomes something far more dangerous. Because Vale is not just a monster in the dark… he’s something else entirely. And the more Lilith learns about him, the more the line between salvation and ruin begins to blur.

Now bound by secrets, power, and growing desire, Lilith must decide whether to guard her heart—or risk it all for the sake of love, even in a world already cursed by the gods.
