Una sera, però, Vittoria non si presenta al lavoro. Sarà proprio Emilia a trovare il cadavere profanato della sorella. Distrutta dal dolore, decide che farà di tutto per scoprire chi sia il brutale assassino e vendicarla. Anche a costo di usare la magia nera, da tempo messa al bando. Anche a costo di allearsi con Ira, uno dei sette Principi dell'inferno, i Malvagi. Fin da quando era piccola, le hanno sempre detto di guardarsi da loro, ma Ira giura di essere dalla sua parte, e di aver ricevuto l'incarico di risolvere il mistero degli omicidi che stanno insanguinando la Sicilia.

Two rivals torn apart by a dark memory reunite on a deadly hunt—and in an irresistibly twisted fairy tale—in the next steamy standalone fantasy romance from New York Times bestselling sensation Kerri Maniscalco.
A wicked prince determined to save his kingdom.
Gabriel Axton—infamous as the Prince of Gluttony, the self-proclaimed rake of rakes—has always lived for indulgence: in delicious food, in tantalizing women, and most of all, in the thrill of the hunt, where his love of danger can take over. But when his favorite adventure takes a deadly turn, he realizes something is very wrong in his demon court. With the clock ticking, he must turn to the only one who might uncover the truth: a journalist he has spent a decade avoiding…
A reporter hell-bent on finding the truth.
Adriana Saint Lucent has been on the hunt for years—if she could just report something damning enough about that no-good scoundrel Gabriel Axton, she knows others would finally see the demon as she does. But she never expected to turn up a rumor too terrifying to be believed: could the ice dragons to the north be growing restless? Drawn into the secrets of the Underworld, Adriana’s investigation leads her into the place she dreads most…Axton’s infamous court.
A dangerous rivalry—and deliciously twisted fairy tale.
To stop darkness from falling over their kingdom, Axton and Adriana will have to unite against an escalating danger. But with each holding tight to their own secrets, can they find the truth before it’s too late? And what will they do with an equally troubling rumor: that they might not actually hate one another, after all?
