A completely original deliciously dark take on vampires' Sarah Underwood New York Times
bestselling author of Lies We Sing to the Sea 'A deliciously dark story teeming with morally
grey characters you can't help but root for' Gabi Burton author of Sunday Times bestselling
Sing Me to Sleep Sink your teeth into the highly anticipated Black vampire romantasy title of
2024! Hidden in our world a society of vampires originating in Africa can only feed from
select human bloodlines. Each bloodline represents a House more cutthroat than the next. To
ensure peaceful co-existence and inherit their legacy human children of these families must
study at an elite university before choosing a vampire companion. Lost Heiress Kidan Adane
grew up far from Uxlay University. 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 alluring yet dangerous Susenyos Sagad the same vampire
bound to her own House. To stay in Uxlay 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' violence speaks to her own and tempts Kidan to
surrender to a life of darkness. She must find her sister and kill him 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. Here she discovers a centuries-old threat. And
June could be at the very centre of it. The Cruel Prince meets Ninth House in this dangerously
romantic dark academia debut where a lost heiress must infiltrate a secret society and live
with the vampire she suspects kidnapped her sister.
