The Bloodfire Oath

The Arcanum Order #1

by Chloe C. Peñaranda

Magic takes more than blood. It demands your soul.

Under the iron fist of the Arcanum Order, magic belongs only to the elite. For Scythe Valethorne, survival isn’t enough. By day, she scrapes by in the city’s poorest district, by night she is an assassin to provide for her family. When one mission turns into a deadly gamble, Scythe risks everything to steal a place into the Arcana’s stronghold—the Guild.

But when Asher Kyrell, the Guild’s most enigmatic leader, chooses her as his apprentice, Scythe is pulled into a lethal game of power and deception. His red gaze pierces her lies, his touch threatens her control, and every lesson draws her deeper into his fire. Yet Asher keeps his own deadly secrets, and every spark she feels for him could burn her mission to ashes. For one glance too long could cost her everything, and one stolen kiss could destroy them both.

Through danger and desire, Scythe uncovers far more than she bargained for within the walls of the Guild; about herself, the other initiates, and the sinister fractures within the perfect Arcanum Order. Scythe must decide if her fate lies in enduring the regime—or breaking it. Because what if magic isn’t just gained… but is still born in the shadows, waiting to rise again?

A great first book

**ARC READ**

4.5⭐️
No spice
Single/first person POV
Book 1 in a trilogy
Format: paperback arc

Spoiler free

Full transparency: I went into this book fully anticipating how much it’ll flop & I’ll end up dnfing. Why? Because I still get chills thinking about The Stars are Dying. I can’t begin to explain how utterly atrocious that book is to me🙈So I didn’t have high hopes for this one. Shame on me because boy was I wrong. I’m stumped at this being the same author. Granted, this isn’t a perfect read but she has improved immensely since then, it’s astounding because this book is actually good.

At the start I was impressed but still a little apprehensive. I like how almost nostalgic the premise is with the wand use & breakdown of the magic system & lore. But I was so shocked at how organized the storytelling seemed to be from the beginning that I had to keep reading. This is a slower book with minimal action until the end. It’s attempting that epic fantasy feel with the romance more of a side plot & kinda lands. The plot isn’t jumbled or messy or tough to follow like I assumed it would be. She really tries with the prose & even the dialogue is a step up & for the most part she delivers. The pace is slow & steady. everything unfolds clearly & it’s easy to understand; again for the most part.

The FMC is cocky but also compassionate. Even though at times she was giving bland, I think she’s still a fine lead. The MMC had me intrigued & that certainly delivered! Great enemies at the start & possibly…..no spoilers😉it surprised me how the romance became so earnest & touching as opposed to sexual. no spice in book 1?? Love that.

This has some of the most organic found family I’ve read in a while because sometimes it tends to feel forced. The dichotomy between the FMC & her sister is brilliantly written.

This isn’t perfect but it’s still a good addition to the genre. It very much is a first book. The FMC is a student so we’re learning as she goes along so there’s plenty of exposition. Some scenes ran on for too long vs others weren’t nearly long enough. I also feel like there’s a disconnect between certain elements. It’s so insanely predictable if you really truly pay super close attention to the FMC! Even though the plot has some depth & overall is compelling enough, I just felt like it’s missing that sparkle to push it to a 5⭐️

I can’t say it’s tropey but it does feel familiar both in that old school/childhood fantasy way & in the current typical romantasy sense. But I still enjoyed this. I’m not sure if everyone will like this but I think it’s still worth a try because I found something overall comforting about this world.

**A special thank you to Shelf Awareness & Bramble Publishing for this arc read.

soft DNF for me, because i just couldn’t understand FMC’s decisions. instead of simply giving that invitation back to the guy, she decides to get herself involved, then kills mage, signs a stolen document and ends up in prison.

and then she starts praying because she could almost orphaned sister and who would take care of her in the future… girl, maybe don’t create all these problems for yourself in the first place? 😭

i also struggled with ARC itself. it was barely edited and personally, it made book much harder to enjoy
unfortunately, this one just wasn’t for me
maybe i’ll give it another chance and finish it once official kindle version is published

Many thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for ARC.

I saw the art for this, and so I'm here

[tai ⋆☀︎.]

I’ve read another trilogy by this author, so I simply couldn’t skip this book. It promised me everything I like and crave in fantasy: magic, political schemes, an attraction that shouldn’t happen, and an MMC with glasses. (Yes, I have my priorities straight.)

Scythe, as an assassin, makes for a very interesting main character. Her motivations are clearly established, and I found myself liking her so much more than I expected. I could understand where her decisions were coming from, even when I didn’t necessarily agree with them. Asher also didn’t disappoint as an MMC, and I definitely enjoyed their shared scenes, even though their chemistry felt a little off at times. Since this is the first book in a trilogy, I’m willing to give it a pass. I’d much rather have a slow burn than insta-lust in my books!

When it comes to the world-building, you can tell that the author has a specific vision and is working toward it. The plot was engaging enough to make me want to continue reading and find answers to all the questions that popped into my head along the way.

I’m aware that this book isn’t the final version yet, but the number of grammar issues and other inconveniences throughout the book made it difficult for me to fully immerse myself in the story and sometimes threw off the pacing. I can only hope that some (if not all) of these things will be fixed during the editing process!

Thank you Pan Macmillan | Tor Bramble and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

'Power should never belong to those who can buy it'


This was my first book by Chloe C. Peñaranda and I really enjoyed it. The pacing was consistent throughout and it kept me reading, constantly wanting to know what was going to happen next. Twists throughout kept me really engaged, quite the rollercoaster at times and the twists towards the end were both heartbreaking and shocking.

I really enjoyed the relationships, particularly the tension between Skye and her sister and the ups and downs between Skye and Asha.There is a lot of yearning between the two of them, without the book being particularly spicy, which worked really well for me.

There are definitely some familiar elements here;  The Hunger Games, Harry Potter and a little Fourth Wing came to mind, with the magic, academy setting, deadly trials and morally grey characters.

At times I did feel it lacked a little depth, particularly with some of the side characters. They stayed quite on the periphery and I would have liked to have seen more from them. I also found Skye frustrating, and I didn't always understand her but it wasn't a deal breaker.

One of my favourite parts was Adam, an autistic coded character who I really hope comes into his own in future books.

Overall, a really enjoyable read that kept me interested throughout, and I'm a little sad that I'm going to have to wait quite some time for the next one! Really appreciative to have had the opportunity to read this as an ARC thanks Netgalley and Pan Macmillan/Tor Bramble

The Bloodfire Oath ★★★★★

I genuinely didn’t want this book to end.

The Bloodfire Oath completely pulled me in, and I honestly struggled to put it down. I got to the point where I literally had to cover the page with my hand so I wouldn’t accidentally read ahead, while also forcing myself to slow down because I just wasn’t ready to leave this story yet.

The plot twists were SO good. Every time I thought I had things figured out, something happened that completely threw me off. I loved all the secrets, reveals & moments that had me questioning everything. I was desperate to know what happened next, but at the same time, I wanted the book to just keep going forever.

I also loved Scythe as a character, & the tension between her & Asher had me completely invested. Their chemistry, the slow burn, the banter & all the mystery surrounding them kept me turning the pages.

Add in the magic system, demons, danger & an addictive storyline, & I was completely hooked.

And because I read this as an ARC, the worst part was knowing I’d have to wait even longer for the next book.

If you’re looking for a romantasy that keeps you guessing, has you desperate to find out what happens next, & leaves you absolutely unwilling to say goodbye when you reach the end, keep this one on your radar.

I was OBSESSED.

Release Date: 1st December 2026 🗓️

[Jessica Miller]

This is one of those books that makes me want to read everything else the author has ever written. I’m already itching for the rest of the series and this book isn’t even technically released 😩 I will definitely end up buying the special edition later this year.

Asher and his slutty little glasses is absolutely my type of MMC 🤩 Scythe’s journey is a little predictable but it wasn’t a detection for me and I can’t wait to see what tiny deathling does next.

Thank you to author Chloe C. Peñaranda, Bramble / Macmillan publishing, and Goodreads giveaways for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

[Yasmin]

I went into this knowing it was an arc, so I’m definitely taking that into consideration, but I do think it needs quite a bit of editing. There were moments where the writing and errors became quite distracting and, at times, pulled me out of the story.

That being said, I did enjoy the book overall. The plot was interesting, and I liked that pretty much everyone is morally grey. The FMC was definitely frustrating, and I think we’re supposed to feel frustrated with her choices, but there were times when I found it difficult to actually warm to her as a character.

I think my biggest suggestion would be to make some of the characters a little more likeable and easier to root for. If the FMC is going to be scheming and making questionable decisions, I think she needs enough charm or likeability behind those actions to make us want to follow along with her, even when we disagree with her choices.

The plot itself was good, though, and I’m interested to see where things go from here, especially as this is only book one. There’s definitely potential here, and I’ll be curious to see how the characters develop in the next.

[Melissa Cruickshank]

Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for my arc, I really appreciate it.

This was a really enjoyable read. It was fast paced and I was desperate to stay awake and finish it.

It hooked me in from the beginning. Our FMC, Scythe is an female assassin/spy sent on a mission to kill a target and steal the letter they have concealed on their person, I mean what's more gripping than that!

Throw in deadly trials to gain entry to an elite academy, a really interesting magic system and a brooding MMC who is also gentle (he tends to her wounds) and you're in for a treat.

I particularly liked the different types of demons, that was really interesting.

I'm looking forward to the next instalment.

"Mostly unremarkable."

"Ham-fisted exposition."

"This familiar romantasy from Penaranda."

"Readers seeking a purely trope-guided story may find something to enjoy, but others should look elsewhere."

--Publishers Weekly

Oh, yes. High chances are I would be looking elsewhere.

Disclaimer: Review and rating of the sampler ONLY. Official full review to come if I read the full book, which is at this point 30% possible. Don't listen to me, I only read the first pages lmfao

However, I already have some (plenty) of thoughts about the sampler I've read last August. So, RTC, I guess.

[TheBookDragonReads || Chloë]

Thank you to Book Break by Pan MacMillan for sending me a proof copy of this book before publication. It will remain one of my prized possessions. I am leaving this review voluntarily and all views are my own.

Pocket dragons. Pocket Phoenixes. An FMC called Scythe. A romantasy MMC who wears glasses. Honestly, Chloe C. Peñaranda said “let’s make these characters actually look and feel different from everyone else” and I respect it.

First of all, I bloody loved Scorch and Ignis. They were instant favourites of mine. I just wish we’d had more of them throughout because I was fully invested in my tiny magical creatures.

One thing I really appreciated was how unique the character descriptions felt. None of the main characters immediately brought another book to mind, which is surprisingly refreshing in a genre where everyone apparently has the same face, hair and six-pack. And as a neurodivergent lady, I particularly loved the representation we got with Adam. We also have a wonderfully diverse cast with characters of multiple ethnicities and disabilities that aren’t put across as disabilities at all, which is always a win.

Peñaranda's writing is, as always, thick. This woman does not believe in simply telling you what a room looks like when she could apparently describe the molecular structure of the curtains. However, I actually found the descriptiveness much less jarring here than I did in one of her other books, The Stars Are Dying. It flowed far better for me in this book and made the world feel incredibly cinematic, almost like I was watching a film unfold rather than reading it.

The amount of thought and attention that has clearly gone into the lore is genuinely commendable. There is SO much history and magic behind this world. My main issue was that some of those lore and history explanations came in fairly chunky doses rather than being sprinkled throughout the story. The pacing itself was consistent, but those heavier information dumps made the book feel slower to me than it actually was, which ultimately kept me at a 4 star rating. It’s just personal preference, but I prefer my info sprinkled in rather than dumped as it makes it easier to digest.

The trials at the beginning were particularly interesting and gave me “Squid Game but make it fantasy” vibes. However, I did find myself questioning how Scythe figured out the first fire-related section so quickly. There didn't seem to be much working out involved when the answer wasn't particularly obvious. I did notice that the people whose natural magical affinity eventually aligned with the Archmagus who chose them seemed to be more active in figuring out the trial connected to their eventual magic, so perhaps that's what was happening with Scythe too — but even then, it felt like there was very little actual figuring it out on the page when it came to hers, where as we saw the others figuring it out.

The banter between Asher and Scythe? Top tier. And the final 100 pages were firmly in 5 star territoryfor me. I predicted a couple of the twists, because apparently my brain has decided it needs to be annoying and suspicious about everything, but I absolutely did not predict how some of them would play out. My jaw was somewhere on the bloody floor with the Ignis twist I, for some reason, did not see coming, but I loved it. I also loved Talon, which is precisely why I'm still angry about his character arc. I am holding a grudge, thank you for asking.

One thing I will say, because I've seen people deducting stars for editing errors and typos: this is an uncorrected ARC that won’t be published until November. It literally tells you what it is. If you're choosing to read an uncorrected ARC and then getting irritated because it contains errors that will obviously be corrected before publication... respectfully, touch grass. Yes, there were a few mistakes that made me stumble. No, they weren't enough to take away from the actual story or my enjoyment of it, and if you’re unable to see past that in an ARC, perhaps you shouldn’t be reading uncorrected ARCs? Just a thought.

The Bloodfire Oath is an ambitious, incredibly detailed romantasy with a fascinating magic system, a cinematic feel, unique characters, brilliant banter and some excellent twists. I have approximately seventeen thousand unanswered questions now, so naturally I will be patiently awaiting book two while pretending I am a calm and reasonable person.

If you love books with corrupt power systems, imperfect morally grey heroines, unique magic, adorable pocket-sized creatures and twists that make you question whether your jaw is capable of remaining attached to your face, pick this one up. I wouldn’t recommend it for non-fantasy forward lovers of the genre though as the magic system and lore is heavy.

Much like Scythe, I tried to prolong this book for as long as humanly possible because I simply did not want it to end. And now that I’ve finished it, I would give anything to experience that ending for the first time again. The last 10% had me audibly gasping with every new chapter. Every time I thought I had finally figured something out… nope. I was wrong. Again. And again. 😂

It all begins with one thieving job gone very, very wrong. Scythe is supposed to steal an invitation. Simple enough, right? Except instead of handing it over, she keeps it for herself—and suddenly finds herself among the 100 candidates chosen to compete for a place in the Arcanum Order.

There is A LOT of world-building in this book, but I genuinely enjoyed discovering the magical system. Magic comes at a price: you have to bargain with your soul. If you are deemed worthy, your soul becomes bound to a crystal within your wand, which can then shapeshift into two different weapons.

There are six main affinities, and each Archmage is allowed to choose an apprentice from among the 100 initiates. But earning that coveted position isn't easy. The candidates must survive a series of trials, each governed by its own rules, laws, and dangers. And believe me when I say… you do not want to break the rules. #FifthLaw #BloodFireOath #ArcaneLink #AkashicLink

While the candidates are busy navigating the trials and the increasingly complicated magical world around them, there are also threats brewing at the borders from demons and the Akashic. This isn't necessarily the main focus of the story, but that looming threat is always there, creating this underlying sense of unrest.

The Twists 👀 Okay, not really—but I am trying very hard not to spoil anything.
Every time I thought I had something figured out, the book basically laughed in my face and screamed at me NOPE. 😂 I was constantly questioning what was real, who could be trusted, and what was actually going on. The pacing kept me turning the pages, and once I hit the final stretch, there was absolutely no stopping me.

There is also some romance woven into the story, although I have a feeling book two is going to turn up the spice considerably. And considering how badly I need book two right now… I am READY.

There are dangerous creatures everywhere, but honestly? Sometimes the people are just as dangerous. You never quite know who—or what—is an ally.

One of my favorite aspects of the story was watching the apprentices begin to form a found family among themselves. I won't say much more because discovering those relationships for yourself is part of the fun. I also really enjoyed the characters individually.

The story is primarily told from Scythe's point of view, and she is our FMC. She is a rebellious spitfire, stubborn as hell, and seemingly incapable of staying out of trouble. Basically, trouble might as well be her middle name.

Then there's her sister, Lara, who is almost the complete opposite. She has such a compassionate, gentle nature, and I really enjoyed watching her grow throughout the story.

One thing that has been driving me absolutely CRAZY, though, is the mystery surrounding Scythe's lost memories. We still don't know what happened. I have approximately 47 theories floating around in my head. I will say absolutely nothing more because I refuse to spoil this for anyone.

And then we have Asher- The MMC. The broody, pyrospheric Archmage.
There are plenty of rumors surrounding his past, how he earned his position, and—perhaps most importantly—his morals. And yes, he is morally gray. Honestly, almost everyone in this book seems to exist somewhere in that morally questionable gray area,which makes things even more interesting.

I also have to mention Magnus, Adam, Riku, and Talon. They each have very different roles within the story, but I absolutely loved having them pop up throughout the book. They brought so much personality to the different scenes and quickly became some of my favorite male characters.

My Final Thoughts - I swear I am almost done! That ending? You will find your jaw on the floor and the book across the room. (Mine was thrown so hard!)

[Darion]

“The trick to killing a man quietly is to move like his own shadow. Unnoticed, inevitable, and already too close.”
The first line of the book that grabbed hold of me by the throat and said, “you are gonna love this book.” Which of course is absolutely true, I could not get enough of this book!

Scythe Valethorne is a twenty-five year old assassin that creeps the shadows of the Dimspire doing whatever she must to complete a job. The money she makes from jobs is to help provide for the small family she has of her sister, Lara and their adoptive parents Ronan and Edith. We first meet her impersonating a bride to be in order to kill Karl Graves for his invitation to the Arcanum Guild, the most esteemed school of magic in all of the world. Only 100 invites are sent out at random every second year, bound in blood taken as a baby for this very purpose.

Scythe isn’t as smooth as she thought and is made by a very pleasantly attractive pyrospheric arcanum, Asher Kyrell. Deep red hair, with deep red eyes hidden by glasses pulsing with power and beauty. Their first clash is so intense and good, I loved the witty little banter they had between each other mid fight. Scythe manages to escape him, only to wind up in his grasp weeks later after a very impressive set of events.

Throughout this book things continued to happened that were the very least what I expected to happen and I just absolutely love when books do that for me. I loved the magic system, the characters, the plot line and plot twist that made me want to continue reading into all hours of the night. Who wouldn’t want to read a book that has pocket phoenixes and dragons?? If you are a sucker for forbidden romance, hidden identity, mentor/apprentice and some baddies with fire magic, this book is absolutely going to be for you!


✨I looked up fanart about 6 chapters in and turned feral for sir Asher Kyrell✨

[Debbie]

I've officially found a new series to obsess over! I got so sucked into this book from page one, I did not want to put it down!

I really fell in love with the world and the magic system of this book! I love all the different Arcana types, and (as someone that will always be a fan of wand-based magic) the idea of having to not only earn your wand through various deadly trials, but having your life literally bound to it was a really interesting concept to me.

I liked Scythe a lot as an FMC, she's resilient, rebellious, and doesn't back down from a challenge! But she's also incredibly caring and conscious of how her actions might affect those around her. I loved the relationship between her and her sister Lara, who is the polar opposite of Scythe being a lot more timid and reserved. I think she was a really nice balance to Scythe and brought out such a softer side to her.

Speaking of Lara you'll definitely want to pay attention to her little excerpts at the start of chapters, they made me so intrigued by her as a character and I loved learning more about her in this way!

Asher was quite a complex character, there's a lot of interesting layers to him that Scythe gradually peels away as they spend more time together, and the pacing of their relationship (for me) was done really well and felt very natural! The romance between them is a VERY slow burn, and you can really tell that, despite their feelings, neither one of them is quite ready to completely let their guard down around the other.

The only thing that took me out of it a bit is that Scythe is supposed to absolutely despise the Guild and the Arcana, but as soon as she enters the Guild it feels like that motivation from her dwindles almost instantly. I would've liked to see her maybe be a bit more conflicted about going to classes or hesitating to throw herself into her studies, just something a bit more to show that she really didn't want to be there.

This book had very similar vibes to Legends of Thezmarr, Dire Bound, and a little bit of Hunger Games, so if you're a fan of any of these series I think you'll really enjoy this as well!

Thank you so much for the ARC!

[Liv ✨]

Having read and enjoyed a couple of books already published by Chloe, I was so excited to dive into this new world and was not disappointed in the slightest. I was immediately hooked from the first pages, all the way to the end.

I liked the main characters Scythe and Asher, the way we were introduced to us at the very start of the book. The magic system, plot twists and slow burn kept me on my toes the whole way through the book, I felt it was easy to read and understand the world Chloe has created. I loved the way the magic worked within the world and the challenges & trials that came with it.

When Chloe said this book was a true slow burn, she wasn’t lying, which is actually refreshing to read, we got lots of intimate moments building a relationship without spice. One of my favourite relationships was the bond between the sisters, Scythe and Lara, being the eldest sister myself like Scythe I truly felt seen the way she cares and wants to protect her little sister in a world so new & dangerous from anything or one that could harm her. Also bonus points for the cutest pocket phoenix and dragon! I can’t wait to continue this series.

Thank you to Pan Macmillan & NetGalley for this ARC 🫶🏻🐦‍🔥✨

[Gwen Brophy]

Holy moly, this was fantastic!

A new world, and a new magic system, along with main characters who actually like each other and don't hold onto distrust so long that it becomes annoying. That isn't to say there isn't betrayal and hurt because of decisions made, and not that there aren't secrets that come to light at the worst possible time. I knew something was coming, but I did not guess what!

BUT, I loved the dynamic between Asher and Scythe. I loved the little glimpses into Asher's quiet, hidden self, and how Scythe slowly let him in to her most guarded thoughts.

We had one horse, one bed, mentor-mentee, magic with a cost, slutty little glasses....all of the best romantasty tropes.

That ending?! Wow. I RAN to Chloe's IG page to follow her, RAN to Amazon to preorder the hardback of this book and am now DYING for news of book 2. But now I need to read her other books because this was truly phenomenal.

[Jessica Bookbestiejessie]

The ending of this book gave me a headache…😈 when not even fifty pages ago I saw the line that basically is the equivalent of Pedro Pascal thirst traps to “daddy’s just a state of mind” (if you don’t know, look it up and you’re welcome) also obviously with that being said this is obviously a 5+ star read for me… WOWWWWW This book was thick and took me a while to get through but every time I came back to it I was instantly pulled back in and not at all worried about being bored. I can’t believe this is the first time I’m reading from this author, it definitely won’t be the last!

[Beth]

Sisterly love, forbidden romance, rebellion, betrayal and stolen magic - a recipe for a great read. After The Dark is Descending I was so hoping this would be good... And it is, with a few caveats.

An impulsive thief meets a (seemingly) upright mentor after she cheats her way into a magical academy... And her sister gets thrown to the sharks along with her. The Bloodfire Oath follows their journey: sacrifice, familial relationships and self-discovery - and it also has yearning. So much yearning. But forgotten and hidden truths can never stay under the radar for long, and ultimately they surface to create chaos.

One of the biggest issues for me was that the FMCs name gave the game away pretty early on - and another reveal at the end was also overtly trailed. In some ways knowing where it was going was a good thing - it created a suspense - but I would have preferred not to see the twists coming.

I received an ARC, and I really struggled with the language: grammatical mistakes, misuse of words, sentence structure and typos were there in abundance. I wouldn't mention it if it was here or there, but it was so common that it interrupted the flow - especially at the beginning. I would have DNF'd at 5% if I wasn't reading to review, and that would have been a real shame because I really enjoyed the story.

Overall, this was a great read, but it sorely needs another thorough edit.

---

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

[Sara Bowie]

Thank you Chloe for the ARC!

I absolutely loved every second of this book. I loved Scythe and I absolutely adored Asher. I really enjoyed their pithy back and forth. Yes it needs an edit for sure but not the point of an ARC.

Big fan of all the supporting characters and I love that everyone is a bit morally grey.

I’m very intrigued to see where this goes next !

[Kristyne]

This book is probably my fave of the year now! This was such a ride. The world that was created was so refreshing and I loved learning about the lore. Ash and Scythe are perfection but I also loved the other apprentices as well! The ending was intense and I was not ready for it to end. Now I just need the sequel asap after that ending.

[Amy Willhite]

I loved it!!!

[Locdgalreads]

This was such an interesting read, the twists and turns, not knowing who to trust, the danger.. everything was so much fun

Can’t wait for book 2 to be released I need to know what happens next
