Description
An Instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller
This new hardcover edition of the bestselling The Serpent & the Wings of Night features new case art, and a detailed map! The Hunger Games meets vampires in this heart-wrenching, epic fantasy romance of dark magic, and bloodthirsty intrigue from bestselling author Carissa Broadbent. For humans and vampires, 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 amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is 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. War brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone - but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love. The Serpent & the Wings of Night is the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series. This edition features beautiful, brand-new case art and a detailed map of the Obitraes.

I’ll be honest… took me a while to get into this one, I found the first half of this book really hard to get into - but when it clicked… IT CLICKED! I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down!!! Vampire Diaries meets ACOTAR meets Hunger Games *chefs kiss* 🌶️🌶️/5 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/10

I mostly watched her make decisions behind clenched teeth and a shrug—I didn’t have a better answ...read more
