Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown – and her greatest competition.

Review: I was hooked from Chase 1 - This is such a good story. So well written with such wonderful characters. Heros to love and hate. Lovers to love and hate and a Hunger Games style backdrop that amuses, enthralls, delights and strikes horror into the heart. Review: Would recommend! - Now, I'll be the first to admit that fantasy wasn't always my go-to genre. But after being spellbound by 'Fourth Wing,' I decided to take another leap into the mystical world, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent was my next destination. I must say, it didn't quite have me as obsessed as 'Fourth Wing,' which i'm still dreaming about, but it was still a wild ride. If I had to compare it to something, I'd say it's got a bit of that 'Hunger Games' edge – a fierce fight for survival between a mortal and a bunch of hungry vampires, with plenty of twists and turns. Oraya the FMC didn't exactly win me over right from the start. I get it, she's in a life-or-death situation, but boy, she's got a knack for being rude and nasty to just about everyone. A smile every once in a while wouldn't hurt, right? Now, as we ventured into the story's climax, things got a little dicey. There was so much happening, and I'll admit, it got a tad confusing, and I struggled to keep up with all the threads of the tale. However, even with the initial hiccups and the whirlwind ending, I can't deny that book held a special charm. It's a fantastic fantasy adventure, with a hot romance and an unapologetically feisty protagonist, who, for all her rudeness, is undeniably captivating. And despite my moments of confusion, I found myself enjoying the journey. So, if you're a fantasy enthusiast or just dipping your toes into this magical realm, give this book a whirl. It's a rollercoaster ride of survival and mystery that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, even if Oraya's sunny disposition isn't exactly the highlight. Overall, I'd recommend this tale of bravery and survival in a world brimming with enigmatic magic and danger. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 421 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4 in Gothic Romance (Books) 7 in Paranormal & Unexplained Phenomena 7 in Romantic Action & Adventure | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 159,781 Reviews | ## Images ![The Serpent and the Wings of Night: Discover the stunning Sunday Times bestselling first book in the romantasy series Crowns of Nyaxia - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iQPWtkRYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was hooked from Chase 1 *by L***P on 28 June 2026* This is such a good story.

A brutal tournament, cutthroat vampire politics, and a carefully paced slow-burn romance come together in a dark romantasy that sustains its tension throughout. It’s an immersive, tightly plotted read that held my attention from start to finish. The story follows Oraya, a human raised as the adopted daughter of a ruthless vampire king in a world where humans exist solely as prey. Her only chance at freedom lies in entering a deadly tournament held by the goddess of death, where vampires battle for divine power and survival is anything but guaranteed. The arena structure gives the novel real momentum, with escalating trials and a constant sense that no one is safe. Oraya’s characterisation is refreshingly uncompromising. She is capable without being invincible, vulnerable without being fragile and shaped by deep loneliness, yet stubbornly hopeful. I loved that her humanity is both her greatest liability and her sharpest weapon, and that the narrative never shields her from the consequences of her choices. Raihn’s presence adds tension and emotional complexity, and their chemistry unfolds naturally rather than feeling forced. The world unfolds with impressive restraint, revealing its depth through conflict rather than exposition. Fight scenes are brutal and visceral, dialogue is sharp, and the pacing remains steady without sacrificing emotional weight. Broadbent’s prose is clean and cinematic, giving the story momentum while leaving room for quieter, more reflective moments. This book gave me everything I look for in romantasy: high stakes, complex characters, and a romance that feels genuine. I finished the book satisfied, slightly bruised, and more than ready to return to this world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/544297245-the-serpent-and-the-wings-of-night-discover-the-stunning](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/544297245-the-serpent-and-the-wings-of-night-discover-the-stunning) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
