What do you get if you mix Harry Potter with Fourth Wing, Zodiac Academy, a dash of Arthurian legend, and lots and lots of vampires? Bloodwing Academy.

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.

Bloodwing isn't just a school—it's a battlefield. Highbloods fight for power, and if you're weak? You're dead.

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. Easy, right? 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.

And Blake? He might just be the one who pushes me over the edge.

They think they can control me. They think they can use me.

But they have no idea what they've awakened.

Bestselling epic fantasy author Briar Boleyn returns with a new series perfect for fans of hate-to-love romance, heart-pounding action, and dark magic.

On Wings of Blood 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. Bloodwing Academy may have crossover characters from the world of Blood of a Fae but can be enjoyed completely independently. If you're a fan of original mythology, unique world-building, and character-driven romantasy series such as Crowns of Nyaxia, Blood and Ash, and A Court of Thorns and Roses, you won't want to miss out on this riveting new saga.

it had perfect amount of plot twist, I really appreciate that the main character wasn't constantly complaining and crying. she just accepted it and tried to get as much information as possible. I wish there would be a more about the world and how everything works, I feel like the world building was a bit rushed.

Love, love, love

I enjoyed the story. However the narrators accent was very strange. I think they were trying to do an English accent and certain words like ‘year’ sounded like someone pretending to do a very posh accent. Being English myself, the accent was very jarring to listen to. For the second book in the series, I will read rather than listen to the narrators.

Story is interesting

I love this story but it is let down dramatically by the audio. The narration is awful I'm afraid. Such a shame because i do love the books. My advice is to read them instead of listening to it, the only reason i continued is because i wanted to quickly reread before reading the new one.

Awful narration sadly. It could have been great with the right narration.

restarted the story 3 times over because I couldn't get into it, and hated the female narrator.

but the story is good and eventually I was hooked when I got over the narrators.

took a while to get it going

Definitely left me wanting more and I finished them way too fast. Gripped and waiting for book 3 now. Was expecting a dragon rider academy and wasn’t what I expected but loved the story irrespective. Recommend!!
