Blood: The Blackridge Academy

By Martina Bartoli and Luis Mighel Cecchi

What if the one you crave is the one destined to destroy you?

Two rival Houses. One impossible bond.

Julian is the poison Bianca cannot neutralize.

Bianca is the only variable Julian cannot calculate.

Enemies to Lovers - Forbidden Love - Forced Proximity - Dark Academia - Touch Her and You Die A dark academia fantasy romance where alchemy, obsession, blood, and forbidden desire collide.

Ten years ago, Bianca Night escaped the ashes of her family's destruction. Now she has returned to Blackridge Academy-the fortress built on bloodlines, alchemy, and secrets buried beneath stone. She is no longer the terrified child who ran from the flames, but the hidden heir determined to uncover the truth.

Julian Drake has spent his entire life becoming exactly what Blackridge demanded: obedient, ruthless, and impossible to break. Poisoned by the alchemical force known as Black Mercury, he was forged to protect the regime. He expects to destroy the girl who dares to challenge everything Blackridge stands for.

Instead, he finds the one person capable of unraveling him.

Some prisons are built of stone. Others are built of blood. To destroy Blackridge's oldest secret, Bianca and Julian must decide whether the bond between them is a curse... or the only thing powerful enough to set them both free.

Welcome to Blackridge Academy.

Where sin tastes of obsidian and blood.
