Summary
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.

Good book
A good book, if a little predictable, left on an open ending ready for the next part of the series. I’m excited to see what’s next

Heart wrenching emotions
Enemies to lovers to enemies. The inner journey character goes through is brilliantly written. Some plots are a bit weak but overall enjoyed it.

Complex world building, vampires, gods and humans, political intrigue betrayal.
Wow. I would give this 100 stars if i could as 5 just doesn't seem adequate. You know when you're five minutes into a book and you just know this is going to be a great time, this was one of those experiences. Loved this, part 2 of The Crowns of Nyaxia series.
Raine is desperate to make up for Vincent's demise. Oraya is desperate to live up to his memory. Both have to fight through betrayal, political intrigue, their enemies who want the throne and the place they call home.
Raine helps Oraya to realise her new powers and she delves into her background as Vincent's heir and half vampire daughter, Raine helps her to reach her potential.
The entire audiobook was a roller coaster of a ride, but the last two hours, I couldn't stop listening. I had to know the outcome and wow, it didn't disappoint.
The hardback of the book isn't out in the UK until June but it is already on my wishlist as this is one audiobook I want a physical copy of too.

great story if a little cringe.
Story is great, follows on nicely from the first and I look forward to more in this series. . however every time "that face" or "there she is" is said it takes me out of the whole story, worth a listen. even if it's a little cringe.

An exillerating moving love story.
the female narrator was brilliant as in the Ist book. It took a while to get used to the new male narrator. i loved the book it actually moved me to tears in some places but full of action. I just want more.

brilliant book
Becoming head of houses, king and queen Rahin and Oraya. Both figuring out how they are going to do this. Not trusting anyone from their house. A war coming can they deal with what's to come?
I loved this one more than i did the first one. There were plenty of emotions in this one. Oraya is not happy with what rahin did to her. This book is a bit of a rollercoaster. Oraya hates rahin to begin with but has things unravel thing change. Rahin is doing everything he can protect her from everything. Keeping enemies at bay from her. An till that one night she protects a saves him.
I loved they way this whole series has been written. I think it has great world build, slow burns, vampires, humans, and war. Lies and truth all mixed up. There's even some spice 🌶. Great mix and written to keep you wanting to know more.
If you've not read the do run to read.
great listening, too.
