The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself. But winning won’t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival. Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown… and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him. But there’s no room for compassion in the Kejari. War for the House of Night brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone – but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love.

Бывший раб, борющийся за справедливость. Воин-затворник, который больше не верит, что существует. И темная магия, которая запутает их судьбы.
Вырванная из забытой родины в детстве, Тисаана научилась выживать, используя только острый ум и немного магии. Но в ту ночь, когда она пытается купить свою свободу, ей едва удается спастись.
Отчаявшись спасти лучшую подругу, которую она оставила, Тисаана отправляется в Ордены, самые могущественные организации магов в мире. Но чтобы вступить в их ряды, она должна пройти обучение у Максантариуса Фарлионе, красивого и замкнутого огненного мастера, который презирает Ордены.
Намерения Орденов загадочны, и Тисаана должна проявить себя перед угрозой надвигающейся войны. Но еще более опасны ее растущие чувства к Максантариусу. Кровавое прошлое, которое он хочет забыть, может быть ключом к ее будущему… или к падению их обоих.
Но Тисана не остановится ни перед чем, чтобы спасти тех, кого она бросила. Даже если это означает азартные игры в смертельных играх Орденов. Даже если это означает пожертвовать своим сердцем.
Даже если это означает владеть самой смертью.
Поклонники романтического высокого фэнтези, такие как Сара Дж. Маас и Миранда Онфлёр, проглотят эту историю о темной магии, страстном романе, мести и искуплении.

In the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood. She’s left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn. The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies. Raihn’s own nobles are none too eager to accept a Turned king, especially one who was once a slave. And the House of Blood digs their claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it apart from the inside. When Raihn offers Oraya a secret alliance, taking the deal is her only chance at reclaiming her kingdom–and gaining her vengeance against the lover who betrayed her. But to do so, she’ll need to harness a devastating ancient power, intertwined with her father’s greatest secrets. But with enemies closing in on all sides, nothing is as it seems. As she unravels her past and faces her future, Oraya finds herself forced to choose between the bloody reality of seizing power – and the devastating love that could be her downfall.

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 while she long ago came to terms with her own imminent death, 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 one hope for her town’s salvation. But when 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 a god’s wrath, more dangerous still to fall in love with one. Six Scorched Roses is a standalone fantasy romance novella set in the world of the Crowns of Nyaxia series, perfect for those who love dark, romantic tales with bite and fans of Sarah J. Maas or Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Корабль с бывшими рабами плывет к новой жизни. Но те, кто дал им свободу, охвачены не воодушевлением, а мрачными ожиданиями. Тисаана знает, что нерушимый договор заставит ее вступить в войну, развязанную магическими Орденами. И что ее самое грозное оружие одновременно и самая большая слабость. Макс знает, что любовь к Тисаане заставит вступить в войну и его, хотя он поклялся больше не иметь с Орденами ничего общего. И сражаться он будет не только с противниками, но и с призраками своего прошлого. Не знают Тисаана и Макс лишь того, что война начнется так скоро. И что за ней последуют иные битвы — куда более ужасные…
