The Serpent and the Wings of Night

In both human and vampire realms, survival hinges on a strict code: never trust anyone, never back down, and relentlessly protect your heart. Oraya, adopted by the Nightborn vampire king, has fought to secure her place in a deadly world. Her escape from the prey's role lies in participating in the Kejari, an epic tournament orchestrated by the goddess of death. Victory is far from guaranteed as Oraya faces the fiercest combatants from the trio of vampire factions. To endure, she must form an alliance with Raihn, a mysterious challenger. Everything about Raihn spells danger—an unforgiving vampire, a skilled assassin, a contender to her father's throne, and her fiercest rival. Yet, what unsettles Oraya is her inexplicable attraction to him. In the Kejari, compassion is a liability, and nothing poses a greater threat than love itself.
