Briar Boleyn is the New York Times, Sunday Times, and USA Today bestselling fantasy romance author of the Bloodwing Academy and the Blood of a Fae series. A former grad student and teacher turned fantasy romance author, she once wrote award-winning scholarly papers on Dumbledore and Arthurian legends before realizing she could write stories of her own with significantly more kissing. Briar lives in the middle of Canada with her husband and their two demon-angel hybrid children. She enjoys playing RPGs, visiting red pandas at the zoo (hello, Neville), and obsessing over Disney World.

Kaylie Smith (she/they) is a #1 New York Times bestselling writer and lover of all things fantasy. They grew up in Louisiana where they frequently haunted bookstores and practiced her craft. After college she decided to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an author, but when she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found at home with her menagerie of animals, fussing over their houseplants, or annoying people about astrology.

The highly-anticipated third installment of the Bloodwing Academy series brings higher stakes as another dragon rider awakens in Sangratha...the best elements of Harry Potter, Fourth Wing, and Zodiac Academy are blended once again in this vampire-focused, dark academia romantasy novel.

The night's chaos left us breathless. Now the real nightmare begins.

A second dragon has awoken–her heart tainted and her power commandeered by two ruthless highbloods whose cruelty knows no bounds.

My dearest friend teetered on the brink of death. A dragon saved her, but now she's tied to him in a way I can scarcely understand. What will this new bond do to the woman I've come to love as a sister?

And then there’s Blake. Once my relentless tormentor—he betrayed me again, nearly condemning Nyxaris to a cursed, stone-cold fate. Now something has shifted in him. His gray eyes hide a secret he’s desperate to keep.

I saved Blake’s life, despite everything. Yet now my every heartbeat questions where we go from here.

With Bloodwing Academy in turmoil and a new headmaster no one saw coming, only one thing is certain: This is going to be one hell of a year.

At Bloodwing Academy, power comes with blood, and betrayal is as common as ambition. This dark fantasy series tackles mature themes. Readers are advised to consult the trigger warnings before embarking on this intense, morally gray/black journey through the realm of Sangratha!
