They think they can control me. They think they can use me. But they have no idea what they've awakened.

On Wings of Blood by Briar Boleyn
(Bloodwing Academy, Book 1 of 4) — Deluxe Edition

The instant New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling romantasy sensation — Fourth Wing meets Zodiac Academy with vampires, fae, dragons, and enemies-to-lovers tension that will break you.

I didn't sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment. I'm Medra Pendragon — last of the dragon riders, or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games.

But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow. Cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met — and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like he owns me. But I'm not going down without a fight. Between deadly competitions, lies that could get me executed, and a dragon-shaped secret looming over my head, all I have to do is survive. Except I'm starting to think the real danger isn't the academy — it's what I'm becoming in this twisted game of power.

Why readers can't put it down:

• 💔 Enemies-to-lovers slow burn with banter so good readers call it "god tier"
• 🦋 Dragons, vampires, and fae — all in one gloriously chaotic academy
• ✨ Deadly competitions, ancient rituals, and a betrothal she never agreed to
• 🤍 A half-fae heroine discovering exactly how dangerous she can be
• 📚 Sunday Times top ten bestseller — the romantasy everyone is talking about

At Dark Rose, we believe the most electrifying stories are the ones where the heroine walks into the lion's den — and the lions realise too late what they've let in.
