The Serpent and the Wings of Night

About this book

The Hunger Games meets vampires in the first book of the New York Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent, a heart-wrenching, epic fantasy romance of dark magic and bloodthirsty intrigue. Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always -- always -- guard your heart. The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself. But winning won't be easy, pitting Oraya against the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, she will be forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival. Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father's crown -- and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him. But there's no room for compassion in the Kejari -- and nothing more deadly than love . . . The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, the New York Times bestselling TikTok sensation by Carissa Broadbent. It is followed by The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King.
