The Wings That Bind
The night's chaos left us breathless. Now the real nightmare begins.
A second dragon has awoken–her heart tainted and her power commandeered by two ruthless highbloods whose cruelty knows no bounds.
My dearest friend teetered on the brink of death. A dragon saved her, but now she's tied to him in a way I can scarcely understand. What will this new bond do to the woman I've come to love as a sister?
And then there’s Blake. Once my relentless tormentor—he betrayed me again, nearly condemning Nyxaris to a cursed, stone-cold fate. Now something has shifted in him. His gray eyes hide a secret he’s desperate to keep.
I saved Blake’s life, despite everything. Yet now my every heartbeat questions where we go from here.
With Bloodwing Academy in turmoil and a new headmaster no one saw coming, only one thing is certain: This is going to be one hell of a term.
At Bloodwing Academy, power comes with blood, and betrayal is as common as ambition. This dark fantasy series tackles mature themes. Readers are advised to consult the trigger warnings before embarking on this intense, morally gray/black journey through the realm of Sangratha!
Briar Boleyn
Briar Boleyn writes darkly enchanting fantasy romance that sweeps readers into worlds of magic, intrigue, and forbidden love. As the pen name of USA TODAY bestselling author Fenna Edgewood, Briar crafts stories that blur the lines between passion and peril, weaving complex characters and richly detailed worlds where danger lurks in the shadows, and love never comes without sacrifice.
Born and raised in Canada, Briar’s love for the fantastical began at an early age, inspired by the folklore and legends of her homeland. This early fascination with magical realms led her to develop an unmistakable voice that blends sensual romance with captivating fantasy. Her debut series, Blood of a Fae, has been lauded for its immersive world-building, strong-willed protagonists, and steamy yet tender romances that set hearts aflame. Her books aren’t just tales of love; they are emotional journeys where every victory is hard-won, and every betrayal stings.
Bloodwing Academy
At the heart of Briar Boleyn's Bloodwing Academy lies a world where magic is not just a force to wield but a weapon to survive. In a realm where dragons once ruled and vampires have claimed dominance, the academy stands as the final bastion of power, a place where only the strongest can thrive—or fall.
Medra Pendragon, the last of the dragon riders, never asked for this fate. But when her dormant dragon magic is awakened, she’s thrust into a game far more dangerous than she could have ever imagined. Bloodwing Academy, a prestigious school known for breeding warriors and royalty alike, becomes a labyrinth of secrets, alliances, and betrayal. Amidst the towering spires and ancient stone halls, Medra must navigate a web of politics and dark magic, all while learning to control the very beast she’s become linked with.
Bloodwing Academy consists of two books — series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
