Hidden in our world is a society of vampires from Africa, who can only feed from select human bloodlines, each representing a cutthroat House. To ensure peaceful coexistence and inherit their legacy, human children must attend an elite university before choosing a vampire companion. Lost heiress Kidan Adane, who grew up far from Uxlay University, is obsessively protective and willing to do anything for her loved ones. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan believes a vampire, the alluring yet dangerous Susenyos Sagad—bound to her House—has taken her. To remain at Uxlay, Kidan must study an arcane philosophy, collaborate with four enigmatic students, and endure living with Susenyos, who tries to drive her away. Despite his violent nature tempting her towards darkness, Kidan is determined to find her sister and kill him. As a murder mirroring June's disappearance rocks Uxlay, Kidan plunges deeper into the ruthless vampire underworld, risking her soul.
