“Immortal Dark is an electrifying fusion of dark academia, gothic horror, and supernatural intrigue, giving vibes of Ninth House with a vampiric twist. Set in the shadowed halls of the ancient Uxlay University, the morally gray and very human Kidan will lie, cheat, steal, kill and even seduce a vampire to find her missing sister. When Kidan goes up against the tall, dark, mysterious and oh-so-bad vamp Susenyos, sparks fly and the body count starts to rise. A perfect fall read for lovers of dark academia and vampire lore.”

“Dark academia at it’s finest! Kidan is the most compelling morally grey character and her love and dedication for finding her missing sister June will drive her to make some insane decisions. Including going back to the life her family abandoned years ago, a life filled with vampires and their rules. A true enemies to lovers that’s filled with so much tension you could cut it with a knife, I was literally gasping for air because of how amazing it was. Susenyos was the perfect villain turned lover with an air of mystery, his wicked ways and a tortured past filled with terrible decisions. This dark, gothic, mysterious story was infused with Ethiopian mythology and masterfully crafted. ”

“Immortal Dark was a beautifully dark exploration of the human experience on the false dichotomous spectrum of good and evil. I loved how the main character was allowed to be a girl who experiences moral ambiguity and is given the freedom to act upon it. Her love interest does not wish to change her to fit the typical mold of a girl protagonist, but loves her for her straying from the norm. True enemies to lovers!!!”
— Sol • Quail Ridge Books
"Entirely irresistible. Immortal Dark takes the best parts of vampire lore and brings the undying, violent enmity to full throttle. Tigest Girma pushes morally gray fantasy exactly where it needs to go, and you won’t be able to look away." ―Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights

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 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.
