I didn’t sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That’s a recipe for suffering.
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.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because I absolutely love it. It was so gripping in the beginning that I couldn’t put it down, not even for a second. The writing didn’t falter for a second, making it nonstop gripping, and I need to read all the books. When I first met Medra, I knew she was going to be the awesome main character, and Prince Blake Drakharrow. I felt behind that cold demeanor that he really cares; he just has to be careful because he’s from a powerful house, and his uncle, Vickor Darkharrow, will strip him of his status if he’s seen as weak or hurts the ones he loves.
