About this listen
Love is a sacrifice at the altar of power.
In the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood. She’s left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn.
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 digs its 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 gaining her vengeance against the lover who betrayed her. To do so, she’ll need to harness a devastating ancient power intertwined with her father’s greatest secrets.
With enemies closing in on all sides, nothing is as it seems. As she unravels her past and faces her future, Oraya finds herself forced to choose between the bloody reality of seizing power and the devastating love that could be her downfall.
Full of heartbreak, redemption, bloody intrigue, and heart-pounding action, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King is the gutting second installment of the Crowns of Nyaxia series and the conclusion of the Nightborn Duet. It is perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I'm called his precious. His favored. I'm the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward.

And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

Book: The Ashes & The Star Cursed King
Author: Carissa Broadbent
Rating: 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This series. Man. I will think about this series for a long time.
I definitely think the FMC was mad at the MMC for too long .. but honestly it totally makes sense and represents her character very well.
I just love the MMC and I am much weaker than her! 🤣
There was so much drama, suspense, action, bloodshed, and a deep dive into the politics going on during this time.
It was the perfect ending and I can't wait to read more from this world! (I know the series is done, but I mean this universe.)
You get:
• Spicy
• Romantasy
• Enemies To Lovers
• He Needs Her
• Nothing Is As It Seems
• Don't Trust Anyone
• Vampires/Humans
Start this series ASAP! You won't be disappointed. Available through ebook, paperback, and audiobook.

Disappointing
I’ve been waiting to listen to this audio ever since I finished reading the e-book. I loved the rerelease audio of book 1 but I can’t get past that the male and female narrators pronounce multiple names and places so differently. The male narrator even says Oraya two different ways. Really takes you out of the story. I’m only on chapter 28, but I doubt I’ll finish it. Disappointing after waiting so long honestly.

love the book
I loved the first book and just having one woman narrate both for the female and male character. I still really enjoy the second book and like her voice, but I wish it was just her. His voice took away from the story and made it harder to get through
