Enthralling, and filled with danger and intrigue, and forbidden love, Carissa Broadbent’s The Serpent and the Wings of Night is an enthralling fantasy. It takes Oraya, an ordinary mortal brought up by vampires, a c-e point tournament to survive. She herself becomes mortal enemy and mortal enemy of her own heart in world of shadow and power, in a world where alliances blur at the touch of a pen and where the hearts of those that were once your friends can be poisoned even more easily.
