Frequently asked questions

  • Where does Slaying the Vampire Conqueror fit in the Crowns of Nyaxia reading order?

    It's a standalone entry numbered 2.5 in the series — set in the same world as the main Crowns of Nyaxia books but following its own self-contained story between The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King (Book 2) and The Songbird and the Heart of Stone (Book 3). You don't need to have read the other books first, though it's usually read in series order.

  • Was Slaying the Vampire Conqueror originally self-published?

    Yes. Carissa Broadbent originally self-published it on April 27, 2023. After the Crowns of Nyaxia series gained a large following, Bramble (an imprint of Tor/Pan Macmillan) reissued it in a new hardcover edition on March 25, 2025 with new cover art, a map, and a bonus chapter.
