The Serpent & the Wings of Night

by Carissa Broadbent

“The Serpent & the Wings of Night” is a dark fantasy of night-king politics, deadly trials, and a dangerous alliance. This playlist pairs nocturnal, orchestral-shadow instrumental tracks with mid-tempo, lyrical songs that mirror Oraya’s fear-to-steel transformation, Raihn’s predatory menace, and the tournament’s escalating stakes.
