About the book

'Morally grey men, vampires who bite, and a heroine who bites back twice as hard' - K. A. Linde, No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wren in the Holly Library

Carissa Broadbent's Sunday Times bestseller brings the epic trials of The Hunger Games into a dark world of vampires. This is the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series.

For twenty years, Oraya has survived under the protection of a ruthless tyrant: her father. But in a world of predators being the human daughter of a vampire is not a privilege, it's a death sentence.

To save her life, she must win a brutal tournament where the only rule is kill or be killed. Outmatched, she forms a dangerous alliance with her father's sworn enemy. Raihn is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer - and her greatest competition.

But as the game turns deadly, the line between hunter and prey blurs - and the only thing more dangerous than the arena is the undeniable pull between them.

    Wow!!!🤩 Ich bin begeistert. Anfangs hat es sich ein wenig gezogen und ich war sehr skeptisch, da dieses Buch so beliebt ist. Zudem hat mich das Vampirthema anfangs etwas abgeschreckt, aber es hat nicht lange gebraucht mich zu überzeugen. Es war spannend, ein wenig romantisch und bewegend. Oraya ist ein toller Charakter und ich freue mich auf ihre weitere Entwicklung. Der zweite Teil kann kommen!!

    Die Handlung an sich hat mir einen Ticken zu lange gedauert, aber für die Lovestory war es die perfekte Länge
