Publisher Description
The Serpent and the Wings of Night meets Shadow and Bone in a dark romantic fantasy loosely inspired by the Greek myths of Astraea with a page-turning new epic world and a darkly seductive star-crossed romance.
"The brightest star needs the darkest night."
Astraea is a prisoner of her own mind, the past sliding from her grasp like water. But she knows she must escape the tyrannical king who holds her captive and find her clouded memories once again. This quest leads her to the Libertatem, a succession of trials hosted by the king in which five human lands compete for a cycle of safety from the vampires seeking blood, claiming souls, and savaging after dark.
But even winning the Libertatum will not keep Astraea safe from vampires. She’s made a bargain with Nyte, the beautiful, deadly vampire who stalks her dreams and haunts her waking hours. He promises to keep her safe, but she knows she cannot trust him, cannot trust his lies, even as she finds herself drawn deeper and deeper into his seductive embrace.
Caught between Nyte and her own mysteries, Astraea must decide if winning the Libertatem for her kingdom is worth her life, or if protection—and the answers to her past—really are her strongest desires.

Customer Reviews
Super confusing
The plot is so confusing to figure out, even by the end of the book. The event that the main character is in seems like it should have been a big deal but is barely mentioned by the end. The events of the past are still unknown/murky and things aren’t explained properly. I feel like this tried to be too much; too many different aspects and big reveals that were also lost among too much descriptive detail of mundane things. The banter between the female and male leads was the only good thing about this book.
