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.

I'm absolutely loving this series , it got me out of a slump! can't wait for more

love this series

I mostly enjoyed the story although I admit that Blake's character was a bit tedious at times. I didn't use the audiobook for book 1, so I'm not sure if that was a factor but his character seemed quite different from my image in book 1.

To be honest, I didn't really agree with the choice of the male voice actor for Blake. He sounds much older than the character's age.

I also found the numerous American accents (from the male and female readers) a bit jarring, but I guess it helps to distinguish the voices.

But overall I enjoyed the story, the side characters and of course the dragon. I have just downloaded book #3

good sequel

Wow

I love the storyline, wonderfully far fetched as it is, however, the narrators were bad. Their expressions were weak and uninteresting for the female side, and the male characters were loud and annoying and obnoxious.

Good Storyline
