On Wings of Blood

Medra Pendragon arrives at Bloodwing Academy carrying a legacy with nothing left to back it up — last of the dragon riders, in a world where dragons no longer exist. Thrown into a school of highblood vampires who see her kind as little more than walking sustenance, she's outnumbered, outranked, and trapped in a betrothal to Blake Drakharrow, a man who is equal parts infuriating and magnetic. The setup is intimate and high-stakes at once: survival, identity, and the slow burn of a relationship that neither of them asked for.

Boleyn writes with a sharp, propulsive first-person voice that keeps the tension coiled even in quieter scenes. The academy setting gives the romance room to breathe — rivalries, politics, and shifting alliances layer the central relationship with genuine friction rather than manufactured drama. What distinguishes this book is how Medra's defiance feels earned rather than performed; she's not fearless, she's stubborn, and there's a difference. Readers who like their romance tangled up in world-building and slow-burn antagonism will find plenty to dig into across 500-plus pages.
