About this listen

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 truth: 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.

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.

The Bond That Burns 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. 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.

It gets better and better.

I thoroughly enjoyed this second rendition of the book. I listened to it on Audible, and I loved the plots and turns and the interactions with everyone.

The story ends in a weird place, and I'll have to wait for book 3 to become available. Hopefully not too long....!

This part of the book unravels secrets, truths and lies. It's more spicier than the first book and everyone is in danger.

You have Medra and Blakes POV, as well.as Florence, which was a lovely rendition of the story.

I would recommend this series.

Chemistry between the characters

This was darker, messier, and far more intense than book one and I loved every second of it. The stakes are higher, the politics more dangerous, and the emotional tension absolutely suffocating in the best way.

Medra is pushed to her limits constantly, forced to navigate power, betrayal, and a bond she never wanted while everyone around her tries to control her. The dragon lore and highblood house dynamics added so much depth, and the academy setting feels more cutthroat than ever.

The relationship dynamics are toxic, painful, and impossible to look away from. This is not a light romantasy it’s brutal, emotionally charged, and full of morally gray choices that kept me glued to the pages.

Completely addictive. I need book three immediately. 🐉🔥
