The Serpent & the Wings of Night

In the brutal reality of humans and vampires, the laws of survival never change: never trust, never surrender, and always, always, protect your heart.

As the adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya has spent her life carving out a precarious existence in a world that views her as nothing more than a snack. Her only path from prey to predator is the Kejari, a legendary, blood-soaked tournament hosted by the goddess of death. To win is to be granted a wish that could change her life; to lose is to die.

But the Kejari is a meat grinder of the most vicious warriors from the three vampire houses, and Oraya is the only one without fangs. Survival demands an unlikely alliance, and she finds herself tethered to a mysterious rival who is as captivating as he is lethal.

Raihn is everything she should fear. He is a cold-blooded killer, a rival for the goddess’s favor, and a direct threat to her father’s throne. Yet, as the trials grow more sadistic, Oraya realizes that Raihn might be the only person who truly understands the darkness she carries. In a kingdom where a brewing war is about to tear her home apart, their electric attraction is a liability she can't afford. In the Kejari, there is no prize for compassion, and Oraya is about to learn that in a den of monsters, love is the deadliest weapon of all.
