Part of Crowns of Nyaxia
First published 2023
Oraya sits trapped in her own palace after the Kejari tournament destroyed her world. She has lost the only family she ever knew. A devastating betrayal has shattered her trust. She no longer knows her own origins. Only one truth remains clear: she cannot trust anyone, especially not Raihn. Raihn now rules the House of Night, but his nobles reject their transformed king who was once a slave. The House of Blood sinks its claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it apart from within. When Raihn offers Oraya an alliance, she accepts. This partnership becomes her only path to reclaim her realm and revenge against those who betrayed her. To succeed, Oraya must harness an ancient power connected to her father's deepest secrets. Enemies surround her from every direction. Nothing appears as it seems. As she uncovers the past and faces the future, she confronts an impossible choice between the brutal reality of power and a love that could destroy her completely.
