The Bond That Burns: Bloodwing Academy Book 2 Hardback By Briar Boleyn

£15.99

Released: 18th November 2025. ***Stunning hardback features include foil on board and designed endpapers.*** It's THE hottest romantasy sensation that EVERYONE is talking about! What do you get if you mix Fourth Wing with Zodiac Academy, a dash of Arthurian legend, dark academia and lots and lots of vampires? Welcome to Bloodwing Academy. Expect magic. Expect competition. Expect blood. 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. Dragons, Vampires and Fae Slow-burn and spice Enemies-to-lovers and fated mates 448 pages

    It's THE hottest romantasy sensation that EVERYONE is talking about!
    What do you get if you mix Fourth Wing with Zodiac Academy, a dash of Arthurian legend, dark academia and lots and lots of vampires?

    Welcome to Bloodwing Academy.

    Expect magic. Expect competition. Expect blood.


    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.
