Crowns of Nyaxia. The Serpent and the Wings of Night. Book 1

Human or vampire, 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, pitting Oraya against the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, she will be 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 and nothing more deadly than love . . .
