Book 1 in the Crowns of Nyaxia Series

To survive the goddess of death’s deadly tournament, she’ll have to risk her heart — and her humanity.

Oraya, the adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, has spent her life defying the odds. In a realm where humans are prey, she’s clawed out a place of power and purpose. Her one chance at true freedom? The Kejari — a brutal, legendary competition hosted by the goddess Nyaxia.

To win, Oraya must battle deadly magic, vengeful enemies, and her most dangerous rival yet: Raihn, a ruthless vampire with secrets of his own. He’s her enemy. He’s her only hope. And he might just be the one person who sees her for who she truly is.

But in a world ruled by blood, betrayal, and ancient vengeance, love can be the deadliest game of all.
