The Serpent & the Wings of Night – Carissa Broadbent

A dark, addictive romantasy filled with deadly trials, forbidden attraction, and ruthless vampires, The Serpent & the Wings of Night is the gripping first book in Carissa Broadbent’s Crowns of Nyaxia series.

Oraya has spent her life surviving in a world that was never meant for her.

As the adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, she is the only human in a kingdom built on blood—and her survival depends on being sharper, faster, and more ruthless than everyone around her.

Her only chance to become something more than prey lies in entering the Kejari—a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.

But winning won’t be easy.

Forced into a dangerous alliance with a mysterious rival, Oraya finds herself drawn to someone she should fear most. In a world where love can be a weakness—and trust can get you killed—she must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to survive.

Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games with a dark, romantic vampire twist.
