Synopsis: 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 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.

Miniature Review
 
Eternal Ruin is a breathtaking continuation of the Immortal Dark series, and I’m thrilled to say it not only meets the high expectations set by book one… it surpasses them. Tigest Girma returns us to Uxlay with a story that is dark and emotionally charged. This is the kind of sequel that reminds you why you fell in love with a series in the first place.

What impressed me most was how seamlessly the book picks up right where Immortal Dark left off,Tigest effortlessly remindsreaders of  the events of Immortal Dark without slowing the momentum.The pacing is tight and deliberate, and the stakes rise with every chapter. The Dark Academia atmosphere remains rich and moody, now layered with even more Ethiopian mythology, political tension, and sentient magic.

The dynamic between Kidan and Susenyos is one of my favourite enemies-to-lovers arcs in recent fantasy its volatile, magnetic, and deeply human. Their connection is as tender as it is destructive, and watching them navigate loyalty, power, and desire is utterly gripping. They are so morally grey it hurts. If you love dark academia, vampire fantasy, morally grey romance, and myth-soaked magic, this series is a must-read.
 
The only spoiler  I need book three immediately.
