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.

The story has all the elements that make a great story. However, as someone with terrible dyslexia, I rely on audiobooks to help me. The narration somehow doesn’t fit the FMC and MMC, whatsoever and can feel like a slog to get through.

The narration is extremely hard to gel with

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The female narrator was really great, and despite the horrible reviews received. I thought the male narrator was too old for the MMC but it did not distract from the story. Cliffhanger ending … and I am definitely going to read the next book in the series.

Excellent

Good story if a little predictable, but lots to like. Could have been so much better with a little more detailing and finesse so that we really connected to the characters and their situations. I found that the FMC was a bit annoying. Narrators did not help , FMC's delivery was particularly flat and MMC's voice all wrong.

Good story. Shame about the narrators

The story is ok, a little predictable but perfectly enjoyable. The narration is abysmal. Nearly stopped me from continuing. Monotone, uninteresting and odd choices. Makes such a difference.

Awful narration

Would have been better to read then to listen.
You need a moment to get used to the female voice and then the male pov hits and it’s even worse the voice doesn’t match the character

Good story not great interpretation
