In the same stunningly epic world as The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Carissa Broadbent’s Six Scorched Roses is a short romantic novel inspired by Beauty and the Beast. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout, as well as those who love dark, romantic stories with intensity.

Six roses. Six vials of blood. Six visits to a vampire who could be her salvation . . . or her doom. Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. Although she has accepted her own impending death, the deaths of her loved ones are a completely different matter. As her city slowly melts under the influence of a mysterious, divine disease, she takes action into her own hands.

Desperate to find a cure, Lilith makes a pact with the only thing that the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of blood – the only hope for the salvation of her city. But what begins as a simple transaction gradually blossoms into something more. Lilith faces a terrifying revelation: it is dangerous to wander into the claws of a vampire . . . and, in a place already suffering from the wrath of a god, even more dangerous to fall in love with one.
