The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in Carissa Broadbent’s Crowns of Nyaxia series. Oraya, the adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, has survived for twenty years in a world where being human makes her prey.

To prove herself and earn the power to survive, Oraya enters the Kejari, a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death. Forced to compete against the most dangerous warriors from the vampire houses, she forms an uneasy alliance with Raihn, a ruthless vampire and her greatest rival. As the tournament grows deadlier, their attraction threatens to become as dangerous as the enemies surrounding them.
