DescriptionIn The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Carissa Broadbent weaves a tale of survival, dark magic, and heart-wrenching romance set in a world where betrayal lurks around every corner. This gripping first instalment of the New York Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series introduces readers to a realm where the boundaries between humans and vampires are fiercely guarded, and trust is a luxury few can afford.
Oraya, the adopted human daughter of the formidable Nightborn vampire king, has spent her life forging her path in a world designed to claim her as its victim. Her existence is a testament to her will to survive, yet she yearns for more than mere survival. Her opportunity comes in the form of the Kejari, a legendary tournament curated by the goddess of death, promising power and status to its victor.
The tournament is no mere contest of strength; it is a brutal battleground where Oraya must face off against the most ruthless warriors of the three vampire houses. To succeed, she must form an alliance with Raihn, a cunning and dangerous vampire whose lethal skills and reputation as an enemy of her father make him both a rival and a reluctant ally.
Raihn's presence is a constant reminder of the perilous nature of the Kejari; he is as much a threat to Oraya as the tournament itself. Yet, she is inexplicably drawn to him, their interactions sparking an uneasy attraction that could spell her doom. In a competition where compassion can be fatal and love even deadlier, Oraya navigates treacherous alliances and brutal confrontations, all while keeping a wary eye on her unpredictable heart.
The Serpent and the Wings of Night is a masterful blend of epic fantasy and romance, enriched by Broadbent's intricate world-building and compelling character dynamics. As the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, it sets the stage for a captivating saga of power, betrayal, and forbidden desire, with its follow-up, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King, continuing the enthralling journey.
This novel, a TikTok sensation and a New York Times bestseller, is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and those who crave tales of intense emotion and dark intrigue. Embark on this riveting adventure where survival is paramount, alliances are precarious, and love is the most dangerous game of all.

About the Author
Carissa Broadbent has been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since she was roughly nine years old. Since then, her stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, she writes novels that blend epic fantasy plots with a heaping dose of romance. She lives with her husband, her son, one very badly behaved rabbit and one perpetually sceptical cat in Rhode Island.
