Her one chance to rise above her fate is the Kejari, a brutal tournament hosted by the goddess of death. Winning could mean power and freedom, but surviving won’t be easy against the fiercest warriors from all vampire houses.
Forced to ally with Raihn, a ruthless and enigmatic rival, Oraya faces a dilemma. He’s an enemy to her father’s crown, a lethal competitor, and yet, dangerously captivating. As war brews around the House of Night, Oraya must choose between power and the unexpected bond that could be her greatest weakness.
