Publisher's Summary

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 for the House of Night brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home.

In a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love, Raihn may understand her more than anyone, but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall.

The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, a heart-wrenching romance full of dark magic and bloodthirsty intrigue.

Gosh Dang!

I devoured this book. It had fantasy, hot gorgeous vampire, a kick ass human protagonist, and secrets. So many delectable secrets. So many undesirable ones, too. The plot twists, my gosh & the last one! no one in their wildest dreams could imagine. Yeaaah....so while you decipher my comment, I'mma be right over there buying & reading book 2.😁

Couldn’t put down

I preordered this without having a sample to listen to which made me nervous. In the past I’ve refused to audio some based on the lifeless narrations. I was beyond happy with the performance, actual depth not monotone but clear to understand.
The story: well I’m left wanting the second audio NOW, but will have to wait for it’s release.
Loved everything about this story. Will now look at other books by this author as I enjoyed it that much.

Get this now, you won’t regret it

loved it

I really enjoyed this story. It was dark, full of fighting, action and had the right amount of romance. It was very well written and had me really listening to every word, describing everything so well. I can't wait to continue this story.
The reader did a really great job, too.

Constant awe to the end

Loved this book, the story, the narration was absolutely perfect, the world building and timing was right on the mark, it kept me on the edge wanting more until the end. So glad there is another book out to immerse myself into this adventure straight away created by Carissa. Just obsessed now and need to know more…
