For the uninitiated, The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in Carissa Broadbent’s bestselling Romantasy series, Crowns of Nyaxia. It follows Oraya, a human adopted by the vampire king of the House of Night, as she enters the Kejari: a deadly tournament sponsored by the goddess of death.
