Description



Book Synopsis



An Instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

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.

About the Author



Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she writes novels that blend epic fantasy plots with a heaping dose of romance. She lives with her husband, her son, one very poorly behaved rabbit, and one perpetually skeptical cat in Rhode Island.

I love this series. I’m excited to gift it this Christmas! The hard back is beautiful. It arrived in perfect condition. My only comment for the publisher is the that the font is very small in these books.

This book was beautiful to me. Kept me captivated. I read it in two days. Deserves more hype. I’m a sucker for a tough FMC and a cinnamon roll MMC. Waiting for book 2 to be released.

- A heart-wrenching romance, dark magic, and bloodthirsty intrigue. Just finished reading this book (took me 6 days), and I couldn’t put it down. I’m new to reading so usually it’s hard for me to find a book that I genuinely enjoyed reading, but I really enjoyed how the author wrote so much that the storyline instantly pulled me in. It’s a slow burn but the two steamy (🥵) chapters make the wait worth it. I can hardly wait to continue the story in the upcoming book! *I recommend buying in store or pickup, so the book isn’t damaged through shipping. *SPOILER: Oraya better not betray her man or imma be very upset lol

Excellent plot, good world-building. This book touches on many themes in-depth, including but not limited to discrimination, morality, cognitive dissonance, ableism, and many more. It’s clear Broadbent had a clear vision, and I think that she did a fantastic job of executing it. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Delightfully violent, fantastical, and smutty. Carissa Broadbent did a great job of mixing horror, action, fantasy, and romance. A good book, especially when it has fantasy/paranormal/sci-fi elements (vampires, aliens, etc.) needs to feel realistic both in plot and characterization. A Battle Royal/Hunger Games style competition with a human and a vampire as its central characters could end up very silly and unbelievable, but it manages to feel authentic. Orya’s character is intriguing, her motivations are understandable, and her arc is engaging and believable. Her developing relationship with Rhain feels authentic and is a good mix of spicy and emotionally resonant. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book and read the sequel immediately after finishing.
