The Cruel Prince meets Ninth House in this dangerously romantic dark academia fantasy, where a lost heiress must infiltrate an arcane society and live with the vampire she suspects killed her family and kidnapped her sister. It began long before my time, but something has always hunted our family. Orphaned heiress Kidan Adane grew up far from the elusive society of vampires she was born into, where human bloodlines gain power through vampire companionship. She is obsessively protective, mildly nihilistic, and willing to do anything to save her loved ones. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan is convinced a vampire stole her—the same vampire bound to her family bloodline, the cruel yet captivating Susenyos Sagad.    To find June, Kidan must infiltrate the elite Uxlay University—where students study to inherit their family fortune and select vampire companions. Kidan must study an arcane philosophy, work with four enigmatic students, and survive living with Susenyos—even as he does everything to drive her away. It doesn’t matter that Susenyos’s wickedness speaks to Kidan's own violent nature and tempts her to surrender to a life of darkness. She must find her sister and kill Susenyos at all costs. When a murder mirroring June’s disappearance shakes Uxlay, Kidan sinks further into the ruthless underworld of vampires, risking her very soul. There she discovers a centuries-old threat. And June could be at the center of it. To save her sister, Kidan must bring Uxlay to its knees and either break free from the horrors of her own actions or embrace the dark entanglements of love—and the blood it requires.   

A completely original, deliciously dark take on vampires awaits in this highly anticipated Black vampire romantasy title of 2024. Hidden in our world is a society of vampires from Africa, who can only feed from select human bloodlines, each representing a cutthroat House. To ensure peaceful coexistence and inherit their legacy, human children must attend an elite university before choosing a vampire companion. Lost heiress Kidan Adane, who grew up far from Uxlay University, is obsessively protective and willing to do anything for her loved ones. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan believes a vampire, the alluring yet dangerous Susenyos Sagad—bound to her House—has taken her. To remain at Uxlay, Kidan must study an arcane philosophy, collaborate with four enigmatic students, and endure living with Susenyos, who tries to drive her away. Despite his violent nature tempting her towards darkness, Kidan is determined to find her sister and kill him. As a murder mirroring June's disappearance rocks Uxlay, Kidan plunges deeper into the ruthless vampire underworld, risking her soul. She uncovers a centuries-old threat, with June potentially at its center. This dangerously romantic dark academia debut blends elements of The Cruel Prince and Ninth House, as a lost heiress infiltrates a secret society while living with the vampire she suspects of kidnapping her sister.

The first in a thrilling Black vampire fantasy trilogy, with dangerous desires, murderous secrets, an enemies-to-lovers twist and a morally grey lead the reader can't help but root for.[Bokinfo].
