In the heartbreaking finale to the War of Lost Hearts trilogy, a tale of romance, magic, vengeance and redemption comes to a close. Perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent’s Crowns of Nyaxia series.

Tell me, little butterfly, what would you do for love?

In the wake of a crushing defeat, Tisaanah and Maxantarius have been ripped apart. Tisaanah is desperate to rescue Max from his imprisonment, even as her people's fight for freedom grows more treacherous. But within the walls of Ilyzath, Max’s mind is a shadow of what it once was . . . leaving his past a mystery and his future at the mercy of Ara’s new, ruthless queen.

Meanwhile, in the Fey lands, Aefe has been dragged back into this world by a king who vows to destroy civilizations in her name. But even as her past returns to claim her, her former self is a stranger.

Tisaanah, Max and Aefe are thrust into the centre of a cataclysm between the human and Fey worlds. The unique magic they share is key to either winning the war or ending it.

But that power demands sacrifice. Tisaanah may be forced to choose between love and duty. Max cannot forge his future without confronting his past. And Aefe must decide between reclaiming who she was or embracing who she has become.

The choices they make will either reshape this world for ever . . . or end it.

Mother of Death and Dawn is the third and final book in the phenomenal War of Lost Hearts trilogy. Begin the series with Daughter of No Worlds and Children of Fallen Gods.

Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she writes novels that blend epic fantasy plots with a heaping dose of romance. She lives with her husband, her son, one very badly behaved rabbit and one perpetually sceptical cat in Rhode Island. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series, starting with The Serpent and the Wings of Night.
