Nineteen-year-old orphan Kidan Adane, heiress to a fallen House of humans tethered to vampiric creatures called draniacs, navigates her duty to foster human-draniac relations, but when her sister is kidnapped, Kidan suspects a draniac and will do anything to find her.
The highly anticipated Black vampire romantasy of 2024!
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].
