On Wings of Blood

Bloodwing Academy, Book 1

By: Briar Boleyn

Narrated by: Hannah Hedley, Justin Hill

What do you get if you mix Harry Potter with Fourth Wing, Zodiac Academy, a dash of Arthurian legend, and lots and lots of vampires? Bloodwing Academy.

I didn't sign up for this.

A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment.

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.

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. Bloodwing Academy may have crossover characters from the world of Blood of a Fae but can be enjoyed completely independently. If you're a fan of original mythology, unique world-building, and character-driven romantasy series such as Crowns of Nyaxia, Blood and Ash, and A Court of Thorns and Roses, you won't want to miss out on this riveting new saga.

10 out of 10

I was in a reading slump and this book pulled me by my edges out of it!!! The mmc and fmc were beautifully written! I was intrigued from the beginning to the end. I’d also like to add that this is the first book that ended in a cliffhanger that didn’t upset me lol. I can’t wait for book 2!

Started with the book…

..And ended it the the audiobook! I loved both!!
Will be continuing this series on kindle! Thank you Author!

Thiiisssss was perfect!

I loved it all! This is one of my favorite listens this year! Can’t wait for the next one

Good story, but Medra whines too much, and sometimes she's a hypocrite.

FMC is sometimes a hypocrite and a bit of whining. Also why did she end up in that world? would have been nice on her Faerie blood, heritage etc.

Nothing

I expected more. The ending was the best Idk if I will continue. Try it for yourself

Great Story!

What a solid fantasy! Great world building, solid romance, and characters that you care about.

This enemies to lovers story provides the right amount of angst, love/hate, yearning leave you hungry for more.

I am ready for book two!

fourth wing

its fourth wing with vampires and a Harry Potter vibe. absolutely amazing and cannot wait for number 2.

Loved it! Definitely would recommend!!

Definitely a really well written story!!! Loved the characters. Definitely can’t wait to read more! 10/10 would recommend to others.

Fantastic Story… stupid ending

But not stupid enough to stop… Buying the second book now lol. Hopefully we can do better in the second book

Cliffhanger.. be damned
