Blind Date With A Book - Bound by Blood & Fire

Your next chapter has fangs. And a spark of dragonfire.

Genre: Dark Academy Romantasy
Vibe: Defiant. Dangerous. Slow-burning.
Age: 18+ only.

They see a captive. They have no idea what is waking inside her.

This Blind Date with a Book is for readers who love ruthless academies, vampires, fae and the promise of dragons. The title stays hidden, but the clues are yours: a half-fae outsider, a school ruled by powerful vampires, deadly competitions and an unwanted betrothal sealed by an ancient ritual.

Trapped in a world where her blood makes her a target, she must survive dangerous lies and an arrogant adversary while confronting the power awakening within her. Expect slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, fated mates and a morally grey love interest. This is the first book in a four-book series, not a standalone.

Your English-language deluxe edition is paired with a Dragon With Flames bookmark, fantasy journal tabs and a sword-shaped pen. A tea bag with ginger, rooibos, orange and star anise flavours, four stickers and a drinks coaster turn the bundle into a small reading ritual.

Mark favourite passages with the fantasy tabs, let the dragon guard your place and keep your sword pen close for reading notes. Make your tea, settle the cup on its coaster and leave the ordinary world behind for a while.
