Her magic is forbidden. Her past a lethal secret.
And her heart? Already split in two.

In a world where dragons rule the skies and the doctrine of magic is law, Scarlet Thorne has managed to get by living in the shadows. Until now. She never expected to find herself at the heart of the vipers’ nest, Mageia War College, but she knows that if she has any chance of escaping her rock bottom she must enroll. Even if that means facing the scars of her past...

But the constant threat of being burned alive by dragon fire isn’t her only concern—two brothers with secrets of their own infiltrate her world within the shadowy college walls. And they couldn’t be more opposite. Charming Shayde with his infuriating smirk, and the unpredictable, dangerous Rhodes Wylder. Scarlet has no time for distractions. If she wants to survive, she must guard her heart as fiercely as her life. But there’s something about the two of them that makes her feel alive in a way she hasn’t felt in so long…

And when professors start dying without a cause, the three of them are thrown together in a way Scarlet never expected. The more they try to search for the truth, the more her own secrets threaten to break free.

With a dragon haunted by lost memories closing in around her, Scarlet must unlock everything she’s kept buried for so long. But when faced with the ultimate choice, will she dare to embrace the destiny she was never meant to escape?

A spellbinding romantasy packed with slow-burn heat, snarky banter, and a dangerous romance that scorches through every page. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Powerless, and Throne of Glass. Read only if you’re ready to fall hard—and risk everything.

The story was enjoyable but considering they are supposed to in their twenties, at college, I’m confused as to why they were ‘pinky promising’ in nearly every chapter… even the males … I don’t think I’ve ’pinky promised’ since I was a child 😆

I’m confused…

Fourth wing similarities- but good

the story itself has great bones but lacked depth.
not enough background story.
character building was poor. not enough background to form a bond with the characters. I couldn't even visualise what the characters looked like.
the romance was very YA but trying to be adult.
The intimacy scene felt rushed , no emotion to it.

overall if this was a freebie then ideal but not worth buying

felt rushed

I listened in full to this book hoping it would get better , but for me it just all seemed a bit pointless. The love triangle, the help me, no it’s okay I’m strong, then crying on shoulders, hugs, I’m so small I can’t reach a top shelf, (oh please). Some of the books terminology such as blankies and pinky promises and how the characters interacted verbally with each other, made me wonder if I had picked up a child’s book. I understood the angst and the mental health issues presented and possibly why the book was rated with a higher age bracket but really this is more of a follow on for a Harry Potter audience then an adult/teen.
I am a fan of the fourth wing books and this book was suggested as a similar genre and the reviews on Amazon said it was a great read, which for me it was not. The narrators were average, (but maybe the story was a hard read for them) and why did we need two narrators? As having two added nothing to the story. In fact it was more of a distraction as the male narrator read the two male characters in the book with the same voice and there was no chapters dedicated to them to give a reason for why there was a male narrator. The plot swayed between a bad mishmash of the fourth wing and bits of Harry Potter but the story flow and the angst throughout destroyed any enjoyment of this for me. I very rarely write a bad review as I know that the work to create this book will have taken the author a lot of time and energy , however, I would not recommend this book unless you are between the age of 12-16. If you are older listen to The Fourth Wing for a similar genre but with a more dynamic adult story line.

This book really should be rated for a younger audience. Not for anyone under 12 or over 16.
