‘Morally grey men, vampires who bite, and a heroine who bites back twice as hard’ – K. A. Linde, No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wren in the Holly Library
Carissa Broadbent’s Sunday Times bestseller brings the epic trials of The Hunger Games into a dark world of vampires. This is the first book in the Crowns of Nyaxia series. For twenty years, Oraya has survived under the protection of a ruthless tyrant: her father.
But in a world of predators being the human daughter of a vampire is not a privilege, it’s a death sentence. To save her life, she must win a brutal tournament where the only rule is kill or be killed. Outmatched, she forms a dangerous alliance with her father’s sworn enemy.
Raihn is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer – and her greatest competition. But as the game turns deadly, the line between hunter and prey blurs – and the only thing more dangerous than the arena is the undeniable pull between them.
