Set in the epic world of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Carissa Broadbent's Six Scorched Roses is a short romantasy inspired by Beauty and the Beast, ideal for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout. Lilith has been dying since birth, but the thought of losing her loved ones to a god-cursed illness drives her to desperation. To save her town, she strikes a bargain with Vale, a vampire loathed by the gods. In exchange for six roses, he offers six vials of blood, the only hope for her village's survival. What starts as a simple transaction evolves into something more complex. As Lilith navigates the dangers of dealing with a vampire, she realizes that falling in love with one could be even more perilous, especially in a world already suffering divine wrath. Readers have praised this novella, calling it one of the best Beauty and the Beast retellings and highlighting Broadbent's mastery of storytelling. The Serpent and the Wings of Night, the first in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, became a No. 9 New York Times bestseller, followed by its sequel, which also achieved impressive sales rankings.

Pri zostupe do podsvetia si nevesta slnka musí vybrať medzi svetlom svojho vykúpenia... a temnou láskou, ktorá vzdoruje samotným bohom. Mische stratila všetko, keď bola násilne premenená na upírku – svoj domov, svoju ľudskosť a zo všetkého najzdrvujúcejšie lásku boha slnka, ktorému zasvätila svoj život. Teraz, odsúdená na smrť za vraždu upírskeho princa, ktorý ju premenil, sa jej vykúpenie zdá nemožné.Keď však Mische zachráni Asar, nelegitímny princ z Rodu tieňa s minulosťou rovnako surovou ako jeho jazvy, je nútená vydať sa na misiu horšiu než poprava: cestu do podsvetia, aby vzkriesila samotného boha smrti.Mischin trest však môže byť kľúčom k jej spáse. Na tajnom stretnutí jej boh slnka prikáže, aby pomohla Asarovi v jeho úlohe, len aby ho neskôr zradila... zabitím samotného boha smrti, ktorého mu má pomôcť vzkriesiť.Mische s Asarom musia prejsť zradnou cestou do podsvetia, čeliť skúškam, beštiám a pomstychtivým duchom svojej minulosti.Najnebezpečnejšie zo všetkého je však lákavé volanie temnoty – a Mischina zakázaná príťažlivosť k Asarovi, rastúce puto, ktorým na seba riskuje privolanie hnevu bohov.Čím viac sa blíži deň jej zrady, tým viac sa podsvetie uzatvára a nahnevaní bohovia sú čoraz nepokojnejší. Mische je nútená vybrať si medzi vykúpením slnkom a zatratením temnotou.
