Six Scorched Roses

Six Scorched Roses – Carissa Broadbent

In a land ravaged by a deadly plague, a young woman named Lilith is determined to find a cure. Her village is dying, and conventional medicine has failed. Desperate, she makes a dangerous decision: she goes to the remote estate of a reclusive vampire, hoping that his blood holds the key to saving her people.

Six Scorched Roses, a novella by bestselling fantasy author Carissa Broadbent, set in her Crowns of Nyaxia world, follows Lilith as she strikes a bargain with the vampire, a brooding, solitary figure with a dark past who has withdrawn from the world. In exchange for the help she needs, she must return to him again and again, and with each visit, the boundaries between them begin to blur.

As Lilith works tirelessly to develop a cure, she discovers that the vampire is far more complex than she imagined, and that he has secrets, wounds and a history of his own. The two form an unexpected bond, and a slow-burning romance develops as they confront grief, loneliness, sacrifice and the question of whether love can survive in a world filled with death.

Written in lush, atmospheric prose, the novella combines dark fantasy, romance and emotional depth, and offers a satisfying, self-contained story that can be enjoyed on its own or as a companion to Broadbent’s other books.

Six Scorched Roses is a captivating read for fans of romantasy, vampire romance and dark fantasy. It contains sexual content and mature themes, and is intended for adult readers.
