The Serpent And the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
Book Overview
In a brutal realm where vampires rule and humans are considered prey, Oraya — the adopted human daughter of the powerful Nightborn vampire king — has carved out a place for herself in a world that should have destroyed her. Her only chance to rise above being hunted is to enter the Kejari, a legendary and deadly tournament held by the goddess of death herself.
The Kejari pits her against the most vicious warriors from the three dominant vampire houses, forcing Oraya to forge an uneasy alliance with a mysterious and dangerous rival, Raihn — a ruthless vampire and her fiercest competition. As they struggle to survive, their relationship shifts from suspicion to something far more complex and dangerous: attraction, trust, and maybe, love.
But in a kingdom where compassion is a liability and war looms large, emotions can be fatal. Oraya must fight not only for survival, but for what it truly means to belong — even if it challenges everything she has ever known.
