Intriguing storyline with an easy-to-read writing style, epic world-building, sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance and beautiful friendship, all set against the backdrops of dangers lurking in every corner of this universe makes this book so hard to put down! 
 
Medra is a fierce, determined and curious girl who found herself in a strange world and betrothed to a vampire prince. 
 I really enjoyed following her story as she navigates through this new world – seeing how she tried to survive and made friendships with Florence and Naveen. 
 
Blake is a mysterious, cruel and arrogant guy, although he also has a soft side which we see more of from his POV. 
I liked seeing Medra and Blake’s attraction grows into something more as we delved deeper into the story. However, his possessiveness towards Medra can be slightly alarming. 
After that last chapter, I’m curious to see how their relationship will progress in the next book. 
 
There were lots of twists and turns near the ending, as betrayals and dark secrets starts to come out one by one. 
I’m hoping we’ll get to explore more of the world building and also get to know more about the dragons and their rider’s history in the next book. 
 
Overall, this was an entertaining and addicting dark academia romantasy! 
I was hooked right from the start and I’m looking forward to read the sequel coming out very soon! 
 
I wasn’t aware that this was a spin-off series to the Blood of a Fae series, but don’t worry I enjoyed reading this book without any problem and I’m sure you will too. 
If you want to know more of the land where Medra comes from, then you can check out the Blood of a Fae series.  
 
I received an advanced review copy through, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!<
