Description

Vampires meet The Hunger Games in the first book of the New York Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent, a heart-wrenching, epic fantasy of dark magic, bloodthirsty intrigue and enemies-to-lovers romance.

This gorgeous hardback edition features beautiful case art and a detailed map of the Obitraes – the land of Nyaxia.

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 high-stakes first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, the bestselling TikTok sensation. Continue Oraya and Raihn’s story in The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King.

Publisher Review

An addictive enemies-to-lovers romance . . . Fans of dark romantasy won't want to miss this -- Starred Review * Publishers Weekly * Carissa Broadbent's The Serpent & the Wings of Night has all the fun of A Court of Thorns and Roses, but it will also appeal to Twilight fans because vampires are at the centre of the novel * Insider * If you are a fan of dangerous fantasy worlds, bloodthirsty vampires, swoon-worthy romance and a completely terrifying deadly competition, The Serpent & the Wings of Night is going to be a book you will love * Book Briefs * I read it in one sitting, in one night, and loved it. Carissa Broadbent just has a writing style that lets me fall into her books and not even notice how long I've been reading until hours later * Lauren's Bookshelf *
