Bloodwing Academy Series by Briar Boleyn

I died. Violently. Brutally. It was worth it, to save the ones I loved. Except that I am not dead. Death would be preferable to the horrors circling Medra Pendragon when she awakens not in the afterlife, but in a different world entirely. One of death and danger—from the vampires that hold her captive, and the demons dancing in her own head. And at her side, not the family and friends she left behind, but a male pale as death, cruel as the grave, and handsome as hell. A vampire. Her betrothed... moreI died. Violently. Brutally. It was worth it, to save the ones I loved. Except that I am not dead. Death would be preferable to the horrors circling Medra Pendragon when she awakens not in the afterlife, but in a different world entirely. One of death and danger—from the vampires that hold her captive, and the demons dancing in her own head. And at her side, not the family and friends she left behind, but a male pale as death, cruel as the grave, and handsome as hell. A vampire. Her betrothed. Her sole protector in a world where the very blood in her veins marks her as prey. If Medra intends to survive this second chance at life, she must learn to play a dangerous game—quickly. A magical academy where one wrong step means death. A vampire fiancé that she hates with every breath, who tears down others, and is everything she’s been warned against. But all of it pales in comparison to the realization that she—and this world—are not what they seem. For she is the prophesized Pendragon. The harbinger of the return of the only beings that could make this world even more deadly—the dragons. 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. The Once and Future Pendragon series may have crossover characters from the world of Blood of a Fae, but takes place in an entirely new world and can be read completely independently and will have darker tones. If you’re a fan of original mythology, unique world-building, and character-driven romantasy books such as Crowns of Nyaxia, From Blood and Ash, and A Court of Thorns and Roses, you won’t want to miss out on this riveting new saga. less

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 I have no control... moreAt 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 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. Set in a richly crafted world of vampire courts and dragon lore, On Wings of Blood blends dark academia, a brooding bully with Draco Malfoy energy, forbidden romance, heart-pounding enemies-to-lovers tension, banter, and dangerous intrigue. A full list of Trigger Warnings may be found in the book's interior. less
