Intrappolati dal destino, divisi dal tradimento. Alla Bloodwing Academy, il sangue è potere. Ma il fuoco di un drago è una minaccia che nemmeno il vampiro più forte può arginare. Dopo aver risvegliato il feroce Nyxaris dal suo sonno maledetto, Medra Pendragon è diventata il centro di un gioco pericoloso. Tutte le Casate la bramano, pronte a sfruttare la sua eredità di cavaliere. Peccato che quel potere le sfugga di mano, costringendola a fingere, mentire e a spingersi sempre oltre… perché un unico errore potrebbe annientarla. E poi c’è Blake Drakharrow, il vampiro che avrebbe dovuto proteggerla e che invece l’ha incatenata a sé con l’inganno. Il loro sangue è ormai intrecciato: lei è la sua unica fonte di sostentamento, e lui non vuole lasciarla andare. Il loro legame, nato dalla violenza, è diventato imprescindibile: un’intimità forzata fatta di controllo e scontri continui, in cui odio e attrazione si confondono fino a diventare indistinguibili. Eppure, Blake non è solo il mostro che Medra vorrebbe vedere: dietro la facciata algida e crudele, si nasconde qualcuno capace di proteggerla in silenzio. A Bloodwing, però, anche la più piccola debolezza si paga e ogni legame ha un prezzo. Mentre il drago si agita nell’ombra e le tensioni tra le Casate si fanno sempre più violente, Medra capisce che il vero pericolo non è il potere che custodisce, ma proprio ciò che la unisce a Blake: un vincolo che potrebbe salvarli entrambi… o distruggerli.

    Welcome to Bloodwing Academy. Expect magic. Expect competition. Expect blood. I didn't sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for suffering. I'm Medra Pendragon, last of the dragon riders—or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything, and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games. But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow: cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like he owns me, but I'm not going down without a fight. Bloodwing isn't just a school—it's a battlefield. Highbloods fight for power, and if you're weak, you're dead. Between deadly competitions, lies that could get me executed, and a dragon-shaped secret looming over my head, all I have to do is survive. Easy, right? Except I'm starting to think the real danger isn't the academy—it's what I'm becoming in this twisted game of power. And Blake? He might just be the one who pushes me over the edge. They think they can control me. They think they can use me. But they have no idea what they've awakened.

  • The Games Gods Play

    The gods love to play with us mere mortals. And every hundred years, we let them… I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won't notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus' patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus. But instead of fighting their own battles, the gods name mortals to compete in their stead. So why in the Underworld did Hades choose me—a sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shoulders—as his champion? And why does my heart trip every time he says I’m his? I don’t know if I’m a pawn, bait, or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god. How can I, when he has more secrets than stars in the sky? Because Hades is playing by his own rules… and Death will win at any cost.

    SHOW ME YOUR DARKNESS, AND I'LL SHOW YOU MINE. *THE STARS ARE FADING. *THE SHADOWS ARE CALLING. *THE DARKNESS THREATENS EVERYTHING. ANOTHER PRETTY CAGE. Whisked away to the Fire Court, Scarlett Monrhoe finds herself in the hands of the man who killed her mother. The Prince of Fire. Thrust amongst the Fae court she loathes, she is at their mercy. She doesn't know what plans he has for her, but she has plans of her own. She just hasn't decided how thoroughly she wants to break him yet. If only he didn't tempt her with every breath, every touch, every kiss. It's another dangerous game that has her wondering if she will be the one irreparably broken in the end. ANOTHER DANGEROUS GAME. The Fae Queen has plans of her own. She's determined to get to Scarlett in any way she can, and that includes using a mortal prince that followed the lost Fae princess across the border. Crown Prince Callan is desperate to get Scarlett back from the Fire Prince and return to Baylorin. The question is, what is he willing to sacrifice for the Wraith he loves who's trailed by shadows? ANOTHER RACE AGAINST TIME. Every day that passes, Lord Tyndell and Mikale get closer to finding where she is hidden in the Fire Court. Every day that passes puts those Scarlett left behind in more danger. Every day that passes, more secrets are revealed. Truth has been buried in history that has long-since been rewritten, but in order to separate facts from lies, they will be forced to cross other borders and seek answers from kingdoms far more terrifying than the Fire Court. Lady of Shadows is a new adult dark fantasy and romance novel. It's a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers troupe. It may have triggers of love-hate themes, sexual scenes (both consensual and non), violence, and jealous/possessive themes. Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Leigh Bardugo will fall in love with this series.

  • A Rivalry of Hearts

    Tessonja Odette

    2024 · 3 reviews

    Others: Positive

    Two rival writers. One prestigious publishing contract. A bargain of hearts and desire. They say never bargain with the fae. They also say don’t get drunk on fae wine. Yet romance author Edwina Danforth has managed a blunder with both on her first visit to the infamous faelands. Now she's trapped in a magic-fueled bet she barely remembers with a man she’d be happier to forget. The terms? Whoever can bed the most lovers during their month-long dueling book tour wins a coveted publishing contract. The win should be easy for Edwina. She’s known for penning scintillating tales of whirlwind romance. There’s just one problem: her imagination vastly exceeds her bedroom experience. But when failure means plummeting her career back into obscurity, losing isn’t an option. Her handsome fae rival, William Haywood, poses an even greater challenge. Not only are his looks as aggravatingly perfect as his track record behind closed doors, but he has his own reasons for playing to win, and he won’t go down without a fight. Unless, of course, it’s a different kind of going down. In that case, he’s fair game. Edwina and William clash in a rivalry of romance. But what happens when their objects of desire…turn out to be each other? A Rivalry of Hearts is a spicy standalone adult fantasy romcom in the Fae Flings and Corset Strings series. Every book in this interconnected series is a complete story and ends with a HEA. If you like academic rivals, enemies to lovers, and quirky heroines, then you’ll love this sizzling tale. The Fae Flings and Corset Strings series is set in the same world as The Fair Isle Trilogy and Entangled with Fae. Journey back to this beloved fae world or fall in love for the first time.
