The War of Lost Hearts
The War of Lost Hearts (3 book series)
Kindle Edition
From Book 1:

A former slave fighting for justice. A reclusive warrior who no longer believes it exists. And a dark magic that will entangle their fates.

Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.

Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the world. But to join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who despises the Orders.

The Orders’ intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he wants to forget may be the key to her future… or the downfall of them both.

But Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it means gambling in the Orders’ deadly games. Even if it means sacrificing her heart.

Even if it means wielding death itself.

Fans of epic romantic fantasy like Sarah J. Maas and Raven Kennedy will devour this tale of dark magic, passionate romance, vengeance, and redemption.

No war can be fought with clean hands. Not even the ones waged for the right reasons. Not even the ones you win.

Tisaanah bargained away her own freedom to save those she left behind in slavery. Now, bound by her blood pact, she must fight the Orders’ war -- and Max is determined to protect her at all costs.

But when a betrayal tears apart Ara, Max and Tisaanah are pushed into an even bloodier conflict. Tisaanah must gamble with Reshaye’s power to claim an impossible victory. And Max, forced into leadership, must confront everything he hoped to forget: his past, and his own mysterious magic.

All the while, darker forces loom -- far darker, even, than the Orders’ secrets.

As Tisaanah and Max are ensnared in a web of ancient magic and twisted secrets, one question remains: what are they willing to sacrifice for victory? For power? For love?

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

In the wake of a crushing defeat, Tisaanah and Maxatarius 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 center 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 forever…or end it..

In the harrowing finale of the War of Lost Hearts trilogy, a tale of romance, magic, vengeance, and redemption comes to a close -- perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Raven Kennedy.

Top reviews from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2023
I usually write my reviews right away for each book but I had to sit on this one for awhile. Mostly because I was just wrecked by this series. The first book was good, but it almost felt like it should end there and so it took me a bit to pick up the second one. The second book dragged for the first… 30-40%, I almost DNF … but when it picked up that was it. Let me tell you… it was just one thing after another and an emotional rollercoaster and the plot twists … the series does get darker and darker as it goes on. There’s some really twisted cruelty in the name of good that was sometimes hard to stomach at times. Torture and experimentation etc stuff like that is hard for me personally to stomach.

And the ending was hard, though good and felt real. There are just not many books that get you SO personally invested in the characters like this series got me.

With that being said, the one piece of feedback I have is that I would have loved a lot more detail about the characters. There’s many mentioned about the MFC and her appearance but very little about everyone else. It was hard for me to imagine them in my head while reading.

This is one of the best trilogies I have ever read! Definitely in the top three. And I have been reading for over 60 years. Each book in the trilogy is better than the previous one. The main romance is organic and natural. It is an epic love story and so exciting!
I also loved the fey parallel romance which I couldn’t get enough of. The world building and “magic systems” are incredible! This is “dark fantasy” at its finest! I am adding Carissa to the top of my list of must-read authors; authors such as Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa.
The series is emotionally brutal and soul-wrenching, yet life-affirming and inspirational! Reading these 3 books have left a searing imprint upon me.

These books just stick with you. The writing is impeccable and you see parts of yourself in every character. These stories that are so raw will leave you feeling skinned are some of the best books. I found this author by accident because I feel like this genre only speaks of the few and while those few are amazing, there is so many stories waiting to be devoured by us. Carissa writes so beautifully. She captures your attention with subtlety and gently asks that you take a chance. So, take the chance and read everything she writes. Your only disappointment is when it ends.

Sometimes a book sticks with you long after you're done reading. This whole series is rattling in my brain. The writing is exquisite and few authors will compare to Carissa's writing style. Beautiful prose and other writers pale in comparison.

You fall in love with most of the characters and you'll wish they were truly alive.

This series was just perfect. The first book sets up a lot of the slow burn, and then the second will set you up for a twist you likely didn't see coming, while the finale answers the questions you never knew you had.

I devourd this in 4 days and spend late nights overcome with emotion.

I recommend this to anyone who will listen.

I loved every minute of this trilogy. I still have a book hangover, and I finished reading book 3 a few weeks ago! The story just sucked me in from the beginning. All books were engrossing and I loved the whole beautiful story. Highly recommend!!

The War of Lost Hearts quickly became one of my absolute favourites. The characters are real, flawed, and incredibly relatable and lovable. Even the ones painted as the "villian" are tangible and understandable. It makes choosing a side in some conflicts challenging. These books were long. But incredibly well written. They made me laugh, and cry and smile. My heart was broken countless times and then pieces backed together. It had everything I ever look for in a fantasy romance and MORE. These characters will forever live in my heart and this series will be read by me frequently. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. The journey was brilliant and 100% worth it.

Biography

I've been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since I was roughly nine years old. Since then, my stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, I write fantasy novels with a heaping dose of badass ladies and a big pinch of romance.

I work as a cybersecurity marketing professional during the harsh light of day, and am also a visual artist. I live with my fiance, one very well behaved rabbit, one very poorly behaved rabbit, and one perpetually skeptical cat in Rhode Island.
