The breathtaking sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller, Immortal Dark!

Like all ruinous things, he came from the abyss.
 
Kidan Adane has finally embraced her darkness. She’s killed without remorse, lied, and broken Uxlay University’s most sacred law by inviting elusive rogue vampires, the Nefrasi, into Uxlay.
 
Trapped with a violently unstable vampire, and reeling from her sister’s return, Kidan wields her anger like a weapon. She vows to master her house and protect the sacred artifact hidden inside, even if it means forging an alliance with the depraved leader of the Nefrasi, Samson Sagad--and betraying Susenyos.
 
A dangerous new philosophical text seems to hold the answers and promises the very thing Kidan has lost: control. Even as the dark pages consume her, Kidan knows no soul at Uxlay is trustworthy—least of all Susenyos. For Kidan and Susenyos, the lines of loathing and attraction may blur, but the quest for power rules them both. And neither is willing to surrender.
 
As devastating secrets resurface from the past, Kidan and her sister, June, must finally confront each other and take their rightful places in the looming war.

"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

“A darkly compelling story that sinks its teeth in you and doesn’t let go. With a layered plot that keeps you guessing and morally grey characters you can’t help but root for, Immortal Dark is an enthralling, masterful debut. I’m obsessed with this cut-throat world.” 
 —Pascale Lacelle, New York Times bestselling author of Curious Tides

"Immortal Dark is a decadent dark academia fantasy that’s as entrancing as it is haunting. With enthralling characters, a thrilling plot, and a delicious mystery, Tigest Girma serves up vampires like never before seen."—Nia Davenport, award-winning Author of The Blood Gift Duology

“Girma’s Immortal Dark crackles with razor-sharp tension as it draws you into the alluring and esoteric world of Black vampires and the morally ambiguous humans who are bound to them. Weaving magic and myth together in a story that’s part fantasy, part dark-academia, Girma deftly explores questions of morality with nuanced writing, an immersive plot, and a beautifully-flawed heroine who embraces her own vulnerability and darkness in her journey towards truth and vengeance. A breathless, breathtaking debut that tempts as much as it haunts.”—Deborah Falaye, award-winning author of Blood Scion.

“Intoxicating, compelling, and violently romantic, Immortal Dark demands to be made an obsession. With lush and impactful prose, Girma spins a tale of love and fury that aches in all the right places. This is, quite simply, the enemies-to-lovers story you’ve been waiting for.” —M.K. Lobb, author of Seven Faceless Saints

"Immortal Dark is deliciously devious. This story sunk its teeth into me on the very first page and refused to let go. Never have I rooted for morally gray characters more, and I cannot wait to see where Girma takes us next."—Angela Montoya, author of Sinner's Isle

"A deeply seductive tale that is part dark academia, part revenge mystery, part romance, Immortal Dark is brimming with as much philosophical discussions as murder and mayhem. Girma's take on vampire lore is imaginative and brilliantly crafted. Impossible to put down."—Tanvi Berwah, author of Monsters Born and Made

“A ferocious debut from an innovative new voice, Immortal Dark doesn’t shy away from the darkness of its world or the darkness inside us all. Thanks to its detailed worldbuilding, vicious heroine, and suspenseful twists, you’ll support women’s wrongs from bloody start to finish.”

—Kamilah Cole, author of So Let Them Burn

“Girma masterfully spins a tale of dark academia and irresistible vampires with the perfect balance of hope, horror, and the secrets that lurk in the dark. A story of family legacy and human and supernatural ambition, Immortal Dark kept me reading long into the night. A fresh, devious spin on vampires that’s sure to delight.”—Rena Barron, author of The Kingdom of Souls trilogy

*"Tigest Girma's ambitious, vividly imagined debut conjures a complex, often messy world in which humans vie for power and vampires fight for control. Her smart writing, which never shies away from violence, features a cutthroat society where life (both human and immortal) is cheap. Girma's heroes--angry, driven by their own conflicting desires, and unafraid to get bloody--rarely pretend to be virtuous. Readers will likely enjoy the intricacies of the mythmaking, and ultimately be left pondering the price of survival in this rewarding and original read, first in a planned trilogy"—Shelf Awareness, starred review

"Immortal Dark was surprising in that way, with a lot of cool elements to the human-vampire relationship that made the world feel special amongst others of its ilk. ...a decadent and twisting novel that puts a dangerous spin on the forced proximity trope."—Reactor

*"A fresh, arresting entry in the vampire genre that relishes in violent, bloody delights."—Kirkus, starred review

*"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."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
