Carissa Broadbent
I've been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since I was roughly nine years old. Since then, my stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, I write fantasy novels with a heaping dose of badass ladies and a big pinch of romance. When I'm not writing, I'm working at my day job in cybersecurity marketing, watching too many movies, or drawing. I live with my fiance, one very well behaved rabbit, one very poorly behaved rabbit, and one perpetually skeptical cat in Rhode Island.
Children of Fallen Gods (The War of Lost Hearts, #2)
Carissa Broadbent
No war can be fought with clean hands. Not even the ones waged for the right reasons. Not even the ones you win.
Tisaanah bargained away her own freedom to save those she left behind in slavery. Now, bound by her blood pact, she must fight the Orders’ war -- and Max is determined to protect her at all costs.
But when a betrayal tears apart Ara, Max and Tisaanah are pushed into an even bloodier conflict. Tisaanah must gamble with Reshaye’s power to claim an impossible victory. And Max, forced into leadership, must confront everything he hoped to forget: his past, and his own mysterious magic.
All the while, darker forces loom -- far darker, even, than the Orders’ secrets.
As Tisaanah and Max are ensnared in a web of ancient magic and twisted secrets, one question remains: what are they willing to sacrifice for victory? For power? For love?

But that power demands sacrifice. Tisaanah may be forced to choose between love and duty. Max cannot forge his future without confronting his past. And Aefe must decide between reclaiming who she was, or embracing who she has become.
The choices they make will either reshape this world forever…or end it..

Their journey will take them through mortal and immortal realms, alongside both old friends and ruthless enemies. But as the underworld teeters on the brink of collapse and the gods prepare for a war, Asar and Mische must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the power to defy death.

Shrouds of Silver (The Valtain Testaments, #1)
Carissa Broadbent
A shocking Sacrifice and a forbidden wedding could tear them apart. But these four almost-gods will fight for their freedom, even as it threatens to destroy them.
Born with pale eyes, silver hair, and short, sickly lifespans, the Valtain are considered to be just a step below the gods. For hundreds of years, the isolated country of Ara has worshipped them. But after three of them are killed in an unprecedented Sacrifice, the four remaining Valtain spiral into grief and doubt. Sisine throws herself into leadership, despite her growing uncertainty. Alise embraces her fervent faith. Tarrin attempts to keep the peace. Del is consumed by anger.
When Del decides to marry a prostitute in a fit of rebellious furor, he shocks Ara and shakes the core of the Church. The four Valtain are on the verge of being torn apart, even as they become more and more ensnared in a tangled web of betrayal, political intrigue, and ancient secrets. By the end of it all, they could discover power within themselves that they never imagined – or face destruction as their country and the Valtain Church crumble to ashes around them.

Le roi maudit et la couronne sanglante (Les Couronnes de Nyaxia, #2)
Carissa Broadbent
Sur l’autel du pouvoir, l’amour devra toujours être sacrifié.
À la suite du Kejari, toutes les convictions d’Oraya ont été anéanties. Prisonnière dans son propre royaume, elle fait le deuil de la seule famille qu’elle n’a jamais eue et se remet d’une terrible trahison. Même l’origine du sang qui coule dans ses veines lui est inconnue. Elle n’a plus qu’une seule certitude : elle ne peut se fier à personne, et surtout pas à Raihn.
La Maison de la Nuit est, elle aussi, cernée d’ennemis. La noblesse Rishan n’est pas très enthousiaste à l’idée d’accepter l’autorité de Raihn, un roi transformé anciennement esclave. Profitant de cette lutte intestine, la Maison du Sang plante ses griffes dans le royaume et menace de le renverser de l’intérieur.
Lorsque Raihn propose à Oraya de s’allier en secret, l’humaine sait que là repose sa seule chance de reconquérir son trône et d’obtenir sa vengeance sur l’amant qui l’a trahie. Pour ce faire, elle aura besoin de maîtriser un pouvoir aussi redoutable qu’ancien, lié aux secrets les plus enfouis de son père.
Cependant, les ennemis attaquent de toutes parts, et tout n’est que faux-semblants.
The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King (Crowns of Nyaxia, #2)
Carissa Broadbent
Love is a sacrifice at the altar of power.
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.

Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a vampire—her home, her humanity, and most devastating of all, the love of the sun god to whom she had devoted her life. Now, sentenced to death for murdering the vampire prince who turned her, redemption feels impossible.
But when Mische is saved by Asar, the bastard prince of the House of Shadow with a past as brutal as his scars, she's forced into a mission worse than execution: a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself.
Yet, Mische's punishment may be the key to her salvation. In a secret meeting, her sun god commands her to help Asar in his mission, only to betray him… by killing the god of death.
Mische and Asar must travel the treacherous path to the underworld, facing trials, beasts, and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. Yet, most dangerous of all is the alluring call of the darkness—and her forbidden attraction to Asar, a burgeoning bond that risks invoking the wrath of gods.
As her betrayal looms, the underworld closes in, and angry gods are growing restless. Mische will be forced to choose between the redemption of the sun or the damnation of the darkness.
