A standalone romantasy epic set in the world of former Waterstones Science Fiction & Fantasy Book of the Month The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Broadbent's compelling tale finds an assassin tasked with killing a vampire conqueror - if she can ignore her growing feelings for him.
From the internationally bestselling author of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Slaying the Vampire Conqueror by Carissa Broadbent is a dark fantasy romance filled with heart-pounding romance, vengeful gods and betrayal.
Sylina is a dedicated acolyte of the Arachessen, follower of the goddess of fate – and trained assassin. When the brutal vampire conqueror Atrius arrives on the shores of her human homeland, Sylina is tasked with her most critical mission yet: infiltrate his army, earn his trust . . . and kill him.
Atrius is a terrifying warrior, carving an unstoppable path through the kingdom of Glaea. But when Sylina joins his ranks as his new seer, she glimpses a dark and shocking past – and a side of him that reminds her far too much of parts of herself she’d rather forget.
Sylina’s orders are clear: Atrius cannot live. Yet Sylina cannot deny her growing attraction to Atrius, a connection that is forbidden by her vows. A connection that could cost her everything . . .
Slaying the Vampire Conqueror is a standalone fantasy romance set in the Crowns of Nyaxia world, full of heart-wrenching forbidden romance, dark curses and epic battles. Perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen and Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash series.
