The Songbird and the Heart of Stone

Crowns of Nyaxia, Book 3

By: Carissa Broadbent

Narrated by: Amanda Leigh Cobb, Aiden Snow

New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Carissa Broadbent returns with a brand new novel in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, Songbird and the Heart of Stone, where A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Dante's Inferno, in an epic fantasy romance of love and treachery between mortals and gods.

Mische lost everything when she was forcibly Turned into a vampire—her home, her humanity, and most devastating of all, the love of the sun god to whom she had devoted her life. Now, sentenced to death for murdering the vampire prince who turned her, redemption feels impossible.

But when Mische is saved by Asar, the bastard prince of the House of Shadow with a past as brutal as his scars, she's forced into a mission worse than execution: a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself.

Yet, Mische's punishment may be the key to her salvation. In a secret meeting, her sun god commands her to help Asar in his mission, only to betray him… by killing the god of death.

Mische and Asar must travel the treacherous path to the underworld, facing trials, beasts, and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. Yet, most dangerous of all is the alluring call of the darkness—and her forbidden attraction to Asar, a burgeoning bond that risks invoking the wrath of gods.

As her betrayal looms, the underworld closes in, and angry gods are growing restless. Mische will be forced to choose between the redemption of the sun or the damnation of the darkness.

The songbird and the heart of stone

I really enjoyed this and it wa a wonderful book. Loved it as much as the first 2 books.

My Favorite book in this series so far.

This adventure took me around and around. One of my favorite characters and what you learn about her is outstanding. Can’t wait for the next phase of this journey.

Poor pacing, excellent ending

The pacing of book isn’t great. A good chunk of this story was boring but the ending more than makes up for it. I’m looking forward to the continuation of this series.

Love Mische

Miscue is such a light in this dark world. Seeing her slowly descend towards the underworld, it was beautiful to see and her embrace who she was. Her relationship with Asar was beautiful, two broken souls helping each other heal. And I love a “burn the world for her” type of love and watching it grow. I cannot wait for the next one!!!

Carissa, you’ve done it again

Absolutely fabulous addition to the Nyaxia series. I flew through this riff on this romantic Persephone myth with social commentary on religion. I’m ravenous for the next one!!
