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.

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 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.

This was darker, messier, and far more intense than book one and I loved every second of it. The stakes are higher, the politics more dangerous, and the emotional tension absolutely suffocating in the best way.

Medra is pushed to her limits constantly, forced to navigate power, betrayal, and a bond she never wanted while everyone around her tries to control her. The dragon lore and highblood house dynamics added so much depth, and the academy setting feels more cutthroat than ever.

The relationship dynamics are toxic, painful, and impossible to look away from. This is not a light romantasy it’s brutal, emotionally charged, and full of morally gray choices that kept me glued to the pages.

Completely addictive. I need book three immediately. 🐉🔥

After the end of the first book i could not just forget the series so i started the second book and to my surprise it was even better than the first. The English accents were a bit tiring but overall the story was interesting and kept me hooked. I'm definitely going to hear the 3rd one.

Very nice reading! Better than the first!

Oh My Gosh. I'm gonna need 3 weeks to recover from this book because it was just so good i read it in a day! I simply could not put it down and the last few chapters? I couldn't even breath!!!!!! Taken me this long to right this because I'm just so stunned!

This is the second book in the Bloodwing academy series, we follow Medra's journey in this new world and watch her try to survive around, honestly? mean a f people! You get to see a little more of the side characters which i really love, I was so happy we got a couple little Florence chapters!

have read a few bully romances and i think it was done well, nothing to mean, you could see that Blake genuinely thought his was of life, or should i say the highborn perception of how life should be, was the only way. You see his walls crack bit by bit and its glorious to see! I just love it when a bully gets on their knees! You also get to see Medra finally tell Blake about her past! I was waiting for that moment from day 1!

There is so much i want to know about the history and the secrets of this world! Every sentence i ate up because i wanted to try and figure all these secrets out!

I was so happy we got a couple little Florence chapters! I am DYING to see what happens in book 3, I just know its gonna be incredible!

For now though i will be hanging on a thread crying about the ending... anyone wanna join me?

Blake mmm
