The protagonist thought surviving her first year at Bloodwing Academy was the hardest part. She was mistaken. When she accidentally awakens an ancient dragon, every powerful house at the academy wants to control her and the creature's legacy she now carries. The problem is simple: she has no actual control over the dragon. She pretends she does, hoping no one discovers the truth. Blake Drakharrow seemed trustworthy at first, maybe even someone she could rely on. Then he betrayed her. Now she serves as his only blood source, creating a twisted bond between them. At Bloodwing Academy, blood functions as currency and power determines who lives or dies. This dangerous connection might destroy them both unless she finds a way to break it. In a world filled with vampires, dragons, and deception, legends are born from darkness, and happy endings don't exist.
