I had a very clear vision when I commissioned @viimorte for this illustration and she completely nailed it! This is perfect, probably one of my favorite illustration ever. Thank you Vii for bringing this iconic scene to life! Daughter of No Worlds (re)releases in just 6 days 🦋

My War of Lost Hearts series will also have pretty hardcase designs under each book, and I’m thrilled to reveal the one for Daughter of No Worlds coming October 14th!

I’m so glad we were able to keep the beautiful design drawn by @emiliejol while also giving it a fresh look for the new editions.

🦁 The Lion and the Deathless Dark, the next book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, is coming August 4, 2026! 🩸

What a match: a morally-questionable human bounty hunter and the scheming vampire prince who hires her, both of whom are used to having all the control.

Now that The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk has been released, I can officially say that the Crowns of Nyaxia series is four books long, six if you count the two standalones. Only two books left…and I may have an exciting announcement coming this weekend, so keep an eye out 😉

The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk is OFFICIALLY HERE!

And it’s with me right now on my flight to California! (Please excuse my face. I woke up at 3:55 AM. Worth it!)

Dr. Broadbent is back with another excuse note for tomorrow. Trust me, you’ll need it.

With the next Crowns of Nyaxia book releasing in 2 days, I wanted to share a full series recap I wrote on my publisher’s website! It contains spoilers for all the previous books, so be careful, but it’s a great way to catch up without rereading everything.

The Crowns of Nyaxia series is officially six books long. And I just love seeing all of them together! Only 6 days until the release of Fallen 🐦‍🔥

Ashes & Fallen are the longest one so far but not for long since I just finished writing the rough draft of the one and it’s the longest one yet 👀 🚬

Carissa Broadbent @carissabroadbent.bsky.social · Jul 27

I talk a lot about how intense and dark Fallen is, and it is, but it’s not *just* that. It also has plenty of light and funny moments too… 😌 9 days to go! #august5

TWO WEEKS until the release of the next Crowns of Nyaxia installment… The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk will conclude the Shadowborn Duet and I just hope you’re ready for it 🗡️🐦‍🔥🩸🌑🫀 #august5 #preordernow

Fun fact: all these quotes are from and/or about different characters 😬🫣 Any guesses?

Fallen is probably the most emotional book in the series so far, unless you count Nyaxia 5…but we’re not gonna talk about that one yet.

I can’t wait for you to read this one! 24 days to go 🐦‍🔥
