What this book is about
In 19th-century Sicily, Emilia Vittoria Russo's twin sister is found murdered, her body bearing signs of dark magic. In desperation, Emilia summons Wrath — the most emotionless of the demon princes — to help her investigate. Kerri Maniscalco weaves authentic Sicilian history, mythology, and a slow-burn romance between mortal and demon into a dark YA historical fantasy with genuine stakes and beautiful atmospheric detail.
