The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk is the breathtaking second and final book in the Shadowborn Duet, set within Carissa Broadbent's bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia universe. This epic romantasy hardcover delivers enemies-to-lovers romance, vampires, gods, slow-burn romance, forbidden love, epic fantasy, magical realms, and heart-wrenching sacrifice in one unforgettable adventure. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Raven Kennedy, this emotionally charged fantasy romance raises the stakes as love and destiny collide.

After making the ultimate sacrifice to save those she loves, Mische has plunged the world into eternal night. Imprisoned by the gods and separated from the man she loves, hope seems lost. Refusing to accept her fate, Asar embarks on a relentless quest to find her, driven by grief, love, and a desire for vengeance. When a goddess offers them one final chance at redemption, the pair sets out on a perilous journey across mortal and immortal realms to claim the power of the god of death itself. As ancient betrayals resurface and divine war looms on the horizon, Mische and Asar must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other—and whether love alone is enough to overcome fate itself.
