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.

Enthralling

Oreya and Rain are by far the most interesting characters I’ve had the pleasure of reading about. I devoured this book in 18 hours. I have already started the 2nd book and pray the series never ends. Amazing, exciting, heartwarming, sensual, heartbreaking. It’s everything. Just read it!

vampire book with hunger games indeed

Most of the book was predictable because they sell it saying it's like hunger games. I can't help BUT compare the both and find so many similarities that if I explained plot of both, it'll be basically be the same. 70% of the plot was not for me, 20% was thrilling. Only respite was that descriptions of actually fights however small they may be were good. The only chapters that kept me actually engaged were 47-52 Rest, not so much. Overall, one might like it, it wasn't for me, and hard to finish.

Interesting world and character

Fantasy forward with a little bit of spice! The main character can be really annoying though although every action makes sense considering her past.

Great storyline and characters

I really likes how much you root for these characters. I enjoyed the slow build up between the characters and the reveal at the ending.

Good book, annoying narrator

I really liked this story and look forward to the next book however I hope it is narrated by someone else. Amanda’s cadence and expressions didn’t suit the story and I found it hard to get into the feel of the characters because her way of reading them didn’t match the feeling of the book.

Romance overshadows adventure

Despite high expectations stemming from personal recommendations, this book failed to captivate. Promising an adventure-filled narrative, the story instead pivoted towards a predictable romance between its characters. Disappointingly, the plot took a backseat to this romantic subplot, leaving me longing for the anticipated thrill of adventure. While the performance was commendable, the overall experience left much to be desired, ultimately falling flat.

loved every word

I really enjoyed this book. the narrator was great and I loved every work of the story. the last few chapters were definitely not what I was expecting, out of all the endings I had in mind. I guess it was done that way to carry on to the second book, it felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the book for me. in saying that it made me want to see what happens in the next book, so I assume that was the intent. this was the best book I read since forth wing series and I am curious what the second book will bring!
