About the book

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 against 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. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone – but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love.
The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in a new series of heart-wrenching romance, dark magic, and bloodthirsty intrigue, perfect for fans of From Blood and Ash and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

    Oh my god. Oh my god. This is not just a highlight, it‘s a life changing experience. the characters: SO GOOD. so deep. so well thought out. absolutely stunning. i cannot even find the words to describe how perfectly constructed both the male and female mc‘s were. it‘s not just perfect chemistry, but their differences and similarities that work so well here. oraya and raihan are so flawed and complexe that even in a crazy fantasy story, you can relate. the worldbuilding: I was extremely sceptical because this was a vampire novel, and let‘s be honest: been there, done that. BUT I WAS WRONG. this was different and magical and threw the existing concept of vampires in my head for a loooop. i liked the changes to existing vampire lore and the unique twists and turns. storytelling: there was not a single page where i was bored. it‘s a page turner for sure. the constant action and twists and turns evoked emotions in me that i haven‘t felt IN YEARS. i will rave about this for ages. i urge everyone to read this book. it‘s been my favorite this year.

    Ich habe das Buch mit Absicht langsamer gelesen, da der zweite Teil nun bald auf Deutsch erscheint. Daher muss ich jetzt nicht mehr so lange warten 🥰 große Empfehlung auch wegen den ganzen Plottwists am Ende!
