New York Times Bestseller Jasmine Walt is back with a brand-new vampire-witch fantasy series, set in a dark world filled with celestial magic, deadly alliances, and forbidden romance...
Kitana Nightshade is the most powerful witch in Valentaera. A fierce defender of witchkind and humanity, she stands as a bastion against the vicious threat of the vampire kingdom, rising to become the deadliest vampire hunter the world has ever known.
That is, until her lover betrays her in cold blood, sealing her in away in a magical prison so he can take her power for himself.
For fifty long years, Kitana has dreamed of nothing but vengeance. But when she is finally freed from her magical prison, it is not by a fellow witch, but an enigmatic and dangerous vampire lord. The bargain he offers her is simple—assassinate the vampire king, and in return, he’ll help her take back her coven and enact her revenge.
Normally, Kitana would never ally with a vampire. But the world she left behind fifty years ago has changed. The sun has disappeared, the vampires have conquered the human kingdoms, and the witches are nowhere to be found.
The only person Kitana can truly trust in herself… yet, in this new realm shrouded by darkness and abandoned by the gods, that may not be enough. And when a shattering truth is revealed, Kitana must decide what is most important: vengeance, or the price of her heart?
The series
In a world where the sun no longer rises and trust is as fleeting as light itself, Empire of Eternal Night unfolds with quiet menace and magnetic pull. The story begins not with a war cry, but with a silence—fifty years long—carved out by betrayal. Kitana Nightshade, once the most feared witch of her realm, emerges from magical imprisonment into a world that has twisted without her. The covens she once led are scattered. Vampires rule the night. And a blood-stained empire thrives in the shadows of a fallen order.
Read full series description
This series doesn't rush to show its teeth. It lingers instead in the dark corners of power, vengeance, and uneasy alliances. Kitana's return isn’t triumphant. It’s jagged, filled with bitter reckoning and reluctant choices. Her uneasy truce with a vampire lord is less romance than strategy, though the tension between them simmers just beneath every exchange. What follows is a slow, fierce burn through magical politics, fractured loyalties, and the quiet grief of a woman forced to rebuild her world from ash.
The atmosphere is relentless. Eternal night stretches across every page, creating a sense of isolation and intimacy that deepens the emotional stakes. Magic here feels ancient and hungry, not flashy. Power is costly. Every confrontation crackles with more than spellfire. It is layered with history, regret, and the thin hope that something better might still be possible.
What makes this tale stand out isn’t just its dark fantasy setting or its vampire and witch dynamics. It is the emotional weight stitched into every scene, the way grief and strength shape Kitana’s choices, and the slow, careful evolution of trust in a place that has forgotten what light even looks like.
For readers drawn to morally gray heroines, rich world-building, and stories where magic and emotion strike with equal force, Empire of Eternal Night offers a story that lingers. It doesn’t scream for your attention. It whispers, and somehow, that is harder to ignore.
