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. She was commanded to kill him with a single strike to the heart. She didn't expect her own to betray her. 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.
