The Penventon Book Club: The Serpent and the Wings of Night

Step Through the Gilded Veil: The Serpent and the Wings of Night Edition

Step through the Gilded Veil for an evening of dark magic, lethal trials, and heated discussion.

Join us in the atmospheric Penventon Park Hotel Wine Cellar as we dive into the ruthless world of the Nightborn vampires. This month, we are discussing the brutal, heart-wrenching, and addictive first installment of the Crowns of Nyaxia series: The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent.

Whether you are captivated by Raihn, rooting for Oraya’s survival in the Kejari, or still reeling from that ending, come share your theories, favorite moments, and character deep-dives.

This Month’s Special Activity: Kejari Apothecary Potion Bottles 🧪✨

To celebrate the dark, romantic aesthetic of the book, we are leveling up our session! In addition to our book chat, we will be crafting our own fantasy apothecary potion bottles. You’ll get to design your own magical brew inspired by the lore—whether you want to concoct a swirling crimson "Vampire Blood" serum, a midnight-hued "Shadow Magic" elixir, or the shimmering "Tears of the Goddess Nyaxia." Using deep pigments, enchanting glitters, and rustic cords, you'll create a gorgeous, mesmerizing keepsake that looks perfect on any fantasy bookshelf.

What to Expect:

A Spirited Discussion: Deep dives into the deadly Kejari trials, the tense alliance between Oraya and Raihn, and the brutal vampire politics.

Apothecary Crafting: Create your own custom, shimmering fantasy potion bottle; all materials (bottles, liquid bases, pigments, cords, and glitters) provided.

Bookish Community: Connect with fellow local fantasy readers who love dark romance and high-stakes fantasy.

The Perfect Setting: Enjoy the historic, candlelit atmosphere of the hotel’s Wine Cellar—the perfect backdrop for a secret gathering of the Nightborn.
