At Bloodwing Academy, blood is currency, but a dragon’s legacy is priceless–and as dangerous as fire.
I thought surviving my first year in Bloodwing’s deadly halls would be enough. I was wrong.
I accidentally woke a dragon–a creature of myth, of death, of fire.
Now every highblood house wants control over me and the dragon’s legacy I carry. But here’s the truth: I have no control. I’m bluffing my way through every encounter, trying to keep everyone from realizing that I’m not the one pulling the dragon’s strings.
And then there’s Blake Drakharrow. I thought he was on my side, that I might even be able to trust him. But he betrayed me. Now I’m his only blood source. How messed up is that? In a place like Bloodwing, where power and survival are everything, this bond may well be the death of us both. Unless I can find a way to end it.
In this world of vampires, dragons, and lies, there are no happy endings. Just legends–and the darkness it takes to make them.
The Bond That Burns is a dark academia fantasy romance featuring a bully villain with Draco Malfoy energy who (eventually) gets the girl, all the tension and banter, and a tantalizingly dangerous blend of court and school intrigue all set in an intricately crafted world with unique vampire and dragon lore. If you’re a fan of original mythology, unique world-building, and character-driven romantasy books such as Crowns of Nyaxia, From Blood and Ash, and A Court of Thorns and Roses, you won’t want to miss out on this riveting new saga.
My thoughts: Read book one first or this will not make a great deal of sense as it picks up just as that ends. Do not make the same mistake I did.
Right, where were we. Oh yes, dragons. Also fluffins, which are little creatures a bit like Fennec foxes but maybe with smaller ears, or like Eevee from Pokemon. I think. This one’s called Neville, I already love him.
There’s more dragon in book two, and more sex, lots more sex (between human shaped people, not with dragons, I wish I didn’t have to explain this, but I do).
Medra has just about survived her first fun year at Bloodwing Academy, she still mostly hates Blake, she now has a dragon (with a nice line in sarcasm), who has only murdered one annoying vampire so far (I enjoyed that bit) and if she’s very lucky she might get to survive the second year. She still has no idea how she ended up here, and doesn’t seem too bothered about finding a way home. She’s finally got friends and is settling in, sort of.Â
Look, it’s messy, she’s basically the Promised One No One Wanted. She can do things no one else can, a lot of people would be happier if she was dead, she had to kill a friend at the end of the school year, and she’s still bonded to Blake. Who has his own issues to deal with.Â
It gets a whole lot messier before it gets better. Well, hopefully, it does in book 3. I also need a prequel, about Medra in the Camelot court and the fae.
Anyway, read this if you like dragons, mess, cute fluffy critters, friendships, complicated relationships, brooding men who need to grow up, conspiracies, and murder.
