Welcome to Bloodwing Academy.
Expect magic. Expect competition. Expect blood.
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.
Expect magic. Expect competition. Expect blood.

Wow, well I haven't been so engrossed in a fantasy book since reading Fourth Wing but I think I would even go as far as to say this book which is book 1 in the Bloodwing Acadamey series actually beats Fourth Wing for me!
I am surprised how much I enjoyed this because foolishly I actually didn't read the blurb before diving into this one and I have never considered myself a fan of Vampire novels ( other than Twilight but come on who didn't love Twilight!) I was expecting fire breathing Dragons to be plentiful but the book is bursting with vampires but I loved it.
Although this is book 1 it doesn't feel like one of those first books that are just teasing you in ( yes hello ACOTAR I am talking to you) This book is action packed and dark with challenges and saucy spice!
Our main character is Medra but she isn't a Vampire she is in fact a Dragon rider but without a dragon! When circumstances have her wound up at Bloodwing school and promised to none other than the cold blooded gorgeous Blake she faces danger at every turn but she is determined to survive and get herself out of this situation.
Like so many other schools we have visited Bloodwing feels exciting, enchanting and dangerous, we see the divide between the Highbloods and the Blightborn and like Medra we can't understand why the Blightborn are so blinded to the way they are treated and looked upon by the Highbloods.
Medra has made friends and enemies already in book one and she has certainly faced her fair share of trials and I was routing for her the wholeway through because she really is a bad ass!
Blake is certainly going to be one that will find a weakness in me as well as Medra I am sure but after this explosive ending of this book I am desperate to jump straight in to book 2 and see what on earth is going to happen next now that they have opened a whole can of worms!
