A brutal murder.

The quest for revenge that will open the gates of Hell itself…

And a toxic romance.

Emilia and her twin sister, Vittoria, are streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, staying hidden to avoid persecution.

One evening, Vittoria does not show up on time to serve dinner at their renowned family restaurant in Sicily. And very soon, Emilia finds the body of her beloved sister… horribly mutilated. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's killer and take revenge at any cost. Even if it means resorting to the dark magic that has been forbidden for years.

And then, Emilia meets the Prince of Wrath – one of the Wicked, the princes of Hell, whom all the stories from her childhood warned her to stay away from. The Prince of Wrath claims to be on her side, sworn by his master to solve a series of murders of young women on the island. But with the Wicked, nothing is as it seems.

“I understood why some believed that the kiss of the Wicked was addictive. Every time I felt the ground beneath my feet become fluid. As if we were a cataclysmic event that should not have happened.”
