The Hunger Games meet vampires in Carissa Broadbent's stunning second book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series, the sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Serpent and the Wings of Night.

Love is a sacrifice on the altar of power.

After the bloody tournament known as Kejari, Oraya is now a prisoner in her own kingdom and mourns the only family she has ever had. She is certain of one thing: she can trust no one, least of all Raihn, the vampire who betrayed her.

The House of Night is also surrounded by enemies. Raihn’s nobles are not eager to accept a Changed king, especially one who was once a slave. And the House of Blood has dug its claws into the kingdom, threatening to destroy it from within. When Raihn offers Oraya a secret alliance, accepting the deal is her only chance to reclaim her kingdom—and exact revenge on the lover who betrayed her. But to do so, she will need to harness an ancient power, one entwined with her father’s greatest secrets.

With enemies closing in on her on all sides, Oraya is forced to choose between the bloody reality of seizing power - and the devastating love that could be her undoing.
