Eternal Ruin
by Tigest Girma
Book 2 in Immortal Dark Trilogy
The sequel to a #1 NYT bestseller that intensifies everything: darker twists, deeper character transformations, and a forbidden romance between Kidan and Susenyos that crackles with the heat of loathing-turned-attraction. The gothic atmosphere and East African mythological elements set it apart from every other vampire book on your shelf.
