Surely there’s room for one more bookish night before Christmas..

With the final book in the trilogy, Infernal Vow, arriving 5 January, Tigest will sit down with fellow author Maithree Wijesekara for an in-conversation about the series (spoiler free), her writing and what’s coming next. And this close to release day? We’ll certainly be trying to get a few secrets out of her.

Immortal Dark Series
A lost heiress must infiltrate an arcane society and live with the vampire she suspects killed her family and kidnapped her sister in this deliciously dark, dangerously romantic first instalment in the bestselling Immortal Dark trilogy. IT'S A TALE AS OLD AS TIME. BLOODTHIRSTY VAMPIRE. INNOCENT MAIDEN. EXCEPT THIS MAIDEN ISN'T SO INNOCENT. THIS MAIDEN IS A MURDERER. Orphaned heiress Kidan Adane grew up far from the hidden 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 her sister, 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' 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. As Kidan uncovers the heart of the ruthless vampire underworld, she grows determined to bring Uxlay to its knees. But when her thirst for revenge collides with Susenyos' lust for blood, the pair become entangled in a game of seductive desires and murderous secrets.
