The Serpent and the Wings of Night (Crowns of Nyaxia, #1)

In a realm where vampires reign supreme, Oraya, a human adopted by the Nightborn vampire king, Vincent, seeks to transcend her status as mere prey. To gain the power she desires, she enters the Kejari, a perilous tournament held by the goddess of death, Nyaxia, where only one victor survives. Amidst the deadly trials, Oraya forms an uneasy alliance with Raihn, a formidable vampire from a rival clan, whose enigmatic presence challenges her perceptions and stirs unexpected emotions.

As the Kejari progresses, the stakes escalate, testing Oraya's resolve and survival instincts. The tension between her and Raihn deepens, blurring the lines between adversaries and allies. Their growing connection becomes a double-edged sword, complicating their strategies and the delicate balance of power within the vampire factions. In a world where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks at every corner, Oraya must navigate the treacherous landscape of the Kejari, confront her own vulnerabilities, and decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for a chance at a new destiny.
