The Lion and the Deathless Dark
Carissa Broadbent opens a new duet inside her Crowns of Nyaxia romantasy world with The Lion and the Deathless Dark, pairing a vengeance-driven bounty hunter against a vampire prince she needs alive to survive her own crimes. It's a blood-soaked, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fantasy built for readers who want god-hunting stakes to match the heat.
From the review
Kyrene doesn't get room to grieve before the world demands payment for it. She hunts for coin under a sky that never sees daylight, ten years into a war between humans and vampires, carrying a sword blessed by a goddess of justice she's stopped trusting to actually be just. Then she does something unforgivable in the worst hour of her life, and overnight she's the target: mortals want her dead, gods want her erased, and her own hunger for one more act of vengeance keeps putting her back in both of their paths. Her way out is Septimus, the vampire prince she should hate and mostly does, who offers her a deal instead of a death sentence: work together and hunt the gods themselves. It's the enemies-forced-into-partnership setup romantasy readers show up for, and Broadbent commits to it fully. Septimus is all calculation and silver tongue, someone you don't trust even after he's saved your life twice, and the plot layers prophecy and curse over the hunt without turning into filler between the two leads.
