The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King (Crowns of Nyaxia Book 2)

Product Information

It slowed down a lot more, which I loved and didn’t mind in the least. It allowed for the plot to just breathe, for the world to be build even further with talks of vampiric politics and war strategies. For themes to be unraveled through magic and gods and fantasy.

ok so why did this finishing this entire series feel like waking up from a dream in which you lived a totally different life to wake up and realize not one bit of it was real?!? i self-inserted myself into this world, these characters to the point that my day to day lingo was switching up!!! i’m not the same as i once was. the ache and deep void i feel makes me want to light myself on fire!!🫨 the way he knew what he did was unforgivable so he was willing to let oraya go because he thought she deserved better 🥲The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies. Raihn’s own nobles are none too eager to accept a Turned king, especially one who was once a slave. And the House of Blood has dug their claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it apart from the inside. When Raihn offers Oraya a secret alliance, taking the deal is her only chance at reclaiming her kingdom – and seeking her revenge against the lover who betrayed her. But to do so, she’ll need to harness an ancient power, intertwined with her father’s greatest secrets. Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. But while she long ago came to terms with her own imminent death, the deaths of everyone she loves is an entirely different matter. As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands. The ending was satisfying. Am excited to read Mische's journey whenever it comes out in 2024. It's a long wait but I am glad the next installment in the series releases in a few days. Oraya has so many conflicted feelings when it comes to Rhain and Vincent, and that made her SO relatable. It’s so much more complicated than grief and hate. She hates Rhain for his lies and the fact that he killed Vincent, but at the same time she knows that whatever they shared during the tournament was real, despite all the other lies and half-truths. She is rational enough to see that he did care for her then and still does now. She knows that, and it makes it harder for her to hate him, which in turn makes her angry at herself for not being able to simply hate him and kill him. You keep saying that she’s just a prisoner. But I’m not blind. And no one else is, either. Everyone knows.”

During the day: If you have a flexible schedule, you may find it helpful to take breaks during the day to read a book. Power hurts. It requires sacrifice. Do you want to change this world, little serpent? Climb the bars until you’re so high no one can catch you. I told you that once. I know because I did it, my daughter. I know.” And Vincent the father, who kept this little makeshift trinket I'd made him, right there with all his most precious possessions. Who had told me he loved me with his final breaths. I wanted to capture him like rainwater. I wanted to savor him like blood. I wanted him to open me and touch everything within me that I had hidden away from the world.” Oraya the things I would do for you…🧚‍♀️While The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King is the end of Oraya and Raihn's core story, wrapping up the Nightborn Duet, there are still 6 books total in the core Crowns of Nyaxia series. With book 3, we'll be moving to a new spotlight character and spending more time in the House of Shadow. More news on this coming very soon! Sypnosis: Oraya, the mortal daughter of the nightborn king, lost everything to the Kejari. She is stripped of her title, crown and forced to play the prisoner queen of the man who killed her father. Left with questions no one could provide answers to, Oraya can't tell apart friends from foes, not when the last person she considered a friend broke her heart and left it bleeding, not when the future of her people depends on her. Her kingdom is in the clutches of a far greater threat than she realizes and the only one who can buy her a change against her enemies is her capor, her husband, which leads her to form an unexpected alliance while coming to terms with her own powers and fighting a battle with her heart that still beats for the man who crushed it under his ambition. This was a very good romantasy, filled with vampires, competition, fight for a kingdom, secrets, battles and betrayals. There is never a dull moment!

The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself. Guys why don't you give this series a chance already? It's got everything a fantasy romance lover would enjoy 😉 some would call what he did brainwashing (me? never 🤭). and the best part of this book, unquestionably, undoubtably Vincent and how his complex bond with Oraya was explored. how his past was explored. i loved his influence on her so much. 💘Early morning: Some people find that reading in the morning helps them start their day with a positive and productive mindset. There he is." He is perfect and I'd gladly bow for my powerful king. He is flawed and imperfect yet he tried his best for his kingdom even though they treated him as an usurper king and betrayed him. He proved all of them wrong. His growth in this book was commendable. He was so conflicted about his role as a Nightborn king and felt the burden of it because nobody was ready to accept him as a king but he appreciated his strengths and even his weakness and fought for his kingdom. And I loved how he was so patient with Oraya and made her feel safe and loved with his thoughtful and sweet gestures. Raihn. My downfall and my most valuable supporter. My weakness and my strength. My worst enemy and the greatest love I had ever known.'
