Medra’s bond with Nyxaris, a fiery dragon, thrusts her into deadly power struggles among vampire highbloods. Blake, the brooding vampire with a complicated connection to Medra, brings tension and betrayal that keep you hooked. The story masterfully blends court intrigue, dragon lore, and morally grey characters with enemies-to-lovers romance. Medra’s loyalty to her friends and determination to uncover the truth makes her a compelling heroine. Packed with action, secrets, and heart-pounding twists, this dark academic romantasy is perfect for fans of high fantasy and dark academic romance.
