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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eighteen-year-old twins Kidan and June Adane, who are of Ethiopian heritage, have always known that there is danger lurking in the dark. Dranaics, or vampires, worldwide have been magically constrained to feed only from members of particular families. These families also hold immense influence over society and their vampiric counterparts. As descendants of these infamous bloodlines, the twins have been raised away from vampire society. But when June goes missing, Kidan needs whatever power she can garner to find her. Using cruel means, Kidan learns the name of June's kidnapper: Susenyos Sagad, a Black dranaic and the only one still tethered to House Adane. To keep Susenyos from usurping her family's power, Kidan enrolls in the elite school he attends: Uxlay University. There she searches for her sister and finds herself inexplicably drawn to Susenyos, the society that offers her tremendous strength, and the violence she believes to reside within her. Debut author Girma reels readers in with a promise of dark and dangerous romances, then ensnares them with fully fleshed-out morally gray characters and the uniquely rendered lore and politics of the trilogy opener's vampiric world. Ages 14–up.
