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 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. 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.

    Wow. Was für ein Ende

    Eine tolle Geschichte. Ein bisschen Romantasy , ein bisschen Enemies-to-Lovers, ein paar Intrigen und Geheimnisse. Aber die Liebesgeschichte ist hier im Hintergrund und das gefällt mir ziemlich gut. Klare Empfehlung von mir 🐍

    Okay, first of all: wie schön ist bitte schön das Buch ohne Schutzumschlag?!😍 Ich würde schon allein fünf Sterne für das Cover geben!😅 Aber auch die storyline bekommt von mir fünf Sterne. Es ist sehr gut geschrieben und flüssig zu lesen und es wurde von Kapitel zu Kapitel spannender. Die letzten hundert Seiten waren einfach super spannend und für mich einfach mindfck des Todes, weil ich mit diesen Wendungen überhaupt nicht gerechnet hatte. 😵‍💫😅 Freue mich, nach der Spätschicht dann Buch zwei anzufangen und bin sehr gespannt.

    Loved it

    I liked this book a lot. It was action packed and I liked the main chatacters. I did scream at them from time to time because, well, you know, that's what a reader must do, right? But seriously, some decisions, or rather feelings, I just could not quite emphasize with. I, to an extend, understood why Oraya felt the way she did about Vincent, but I couldn't emphasize with her. So I'm kind of afraid that I won't like book 2 as much because of the way this one ended. But this one, this one I really enjoyed :)
