Synopsis
Oraya is the only human in the vampire kingdom of Nyaxia, adopted and raised by its Nightborn king after her family's death, and has spent her life learning to fight and hide her mortality among creatures who regard humans as little more than food. When the king declares the Kejari, a brutal tournament held to choose his heir, Oraya sees a chance to finally secure a permanent place in a world built to destroy her. She enters the competition knowing she is outmatched, facing ruthless champions from Nyaxia's three vampire houses who would kill her without a second thought. Early in the contest she is drawn into an uneasy, dangerous alliance with Raihn, a formidable rival vampire with his own grudge against the throne.
