Description
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.
Orphaned heiress Kidan Adane grew up far from the arcane society she was born into, where human bloodlines gain power through vampire companionship. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan is convinced a vampire stole her—the very vampire bound to their family, the cruel yet captivating Susenyos Sagad.
To find June, Kidan must infiltrate the elite Uxlay University—where students study to ensure peaceful coexistence between humans and vampires and inherit their family legacies. Kidan must survive living with Susenyos—even as he does everything he can 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.

"The world loves to punish girls who dream in the dark. I plan to worship them."
A young adult, dark academia filled with the most rich and beautiful lore I have read in a long time. Black vampires and their future companions, with so many morally grey characters to sink your teeth into - pun intended. This book was captivating to read and superbly written.
We follow Kidan, the heiress of House Adane as she searches for her lost sister, tries to master her birthright, attends the dark and secretive Uxlay College, all while living with the vampire she believes kidnapped her sister. Kidan struggles thoughout the book not knowing who she can truly trust, and also dealing with her own dark past and changing viewpoints of the world she thought she knew everything about.
The ever building tension in this book had me on the edge of my seat. Kidan’s relationship with Susenyos developed so perfectly and left me wanting more from then both. The twists and turns in this book also kept my attention as even I wasn’t sure who Kidan’s true friends were at some points.
This may very well be my favourite fantasy read of 2024.
