About this listen

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.

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.😁

Gosh Dang!

There was a lot going on, found it tricky at times to keep up with all the characters, narration was great I enjoy Amanda Leigh Cobb’s tone and expression. The story line is relatively fast paced which was great, however there were quite a few moments of Oraya ‘prattling on’ which lost the momentum of the story line… Over all it’s a action packed story, with a nice twist at the end that’s got me invested in the next book ‘The ashes and the star-cursed King.

Nice twist!

Loved this - it definitely helped with the Empyrean and Crescent City hangover. Great pacing, clear story, good world building and that twist - I didn't know where it was going at any point! Excited to get stuck into the rest of the series.

Kept me on my toes!

I don’t think I’ve audibly gasped while reading a book as much as I did through this one. Honestly, an excellent book, and really well performed in this audio book version. Highly recommended.

Excellent
