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 not merely a good read, it's an absolute masterpiece. Initially, I held reservations about diving into another vampire book, especially after the Twilight series. However, this book completely shattered my apprehensions and proved to be a remarkable work of fiction.
What sets this book apart is how the vampires maintain their traditional mythical characteristics, a stark contrast to the moody, glittery teenagers often seen in popular culture. The author, with her skillful crafting, manages to imbue the characters with a blend of dangerous viciousness and heartbreaking vulnerability, making them compelling and realistic.
Furthermore, the intricate development of the book's mythology is captivating. It feels so authentic that one might mistake it for actual history rather than a fictional creation.
This book had a profound impact on me, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Whether you're dealing with a book hangover from Jennifer L. Armentrout's works or simply craving a compelling and emotionally intense tale, The Serpent and the Wings of Night will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on your heart.
