Dive into The Lion and the Deathless Dark, a compulsive dark fantasy novel by Carissa Broadbent. This title serves as the first book in the Bloodborn Duet and the fifth installment in the critically acclaimed, Sunday Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series. Experience a world ravaged by a decade of war between humans and vampires under an eternal night.

Kyrene, a bounty hunter armed with a blessed sword from the goddess of justice, seeks vengeance after a devastating loss. Her actions make her a target for both mortals and gods. Her only path to survival and revenge lies in an alliance with the silver-tongued vampire prince, Septimus. He offers her a final, dangerous mission: to slay the gods themselves. As they hunt the ultimate marks while navigating prophecies and curses, Kyrene discovers an unexpected kinship with the calculating and mysterious Septimus, whose secrets could consume them both. Kyrene is determined to achieve her ultimate goal—killing the goddess of vampires—even if it means sacrificing love for revenge.
