With Hearts of Flame (Deluxe Limited Edition): A Dark Academia Romantasy Novel of Vampires and Dragons Featuring Stenciled Edges and Illustrated Endpapers (Bloodwing Academy, 4)
Briar Boleyn
by Emily Goulden
Twenty-five years after the dragon realm emerged from the shadows, the world remains a delicate balance between shifter power and human vulnerability. Nestled deep in the heart of Texas, Arkyn Evenson serves as the formidable Chieftain of the House of Evenson. Despite his status and strength, he has spent decades yearning for the one thing his leadership cannot command: his fated mate. He is a man defined by duty, yet his world shifts violently the moment he discovers Sunday Amelia lying broken and bloodied at the feet of her captors.
Sunday is a survivor of a harrowing human upbringing, carrying physical and emotional scars that run deeper than any shifter can easily mend. When she is thrust into the orbit of a powerful, possessive dragon shifter, she must navigate a bond she never asked for and a love she feels unworthy of claiming. This is a high-stakes paranormal romance that leans heavily into the fated mates and protector tropes, blending raw intensity with the promise of deep-seated healing.
As Arkyn fights to earn her trust, the question remains whether Sunday can break through her walls to accept a destiny written in their blood. If you crave a series that masterfully balances epic world-building with an intimate, heart-wrenching connection, this installment of the Royal Legacy will keep you captivated until the final page.
