With a dizzying trajectory on TikTok, Kerri Maniscalco's young adult fantasy novel has already become a cult favorite among readers around the world. Having sold millions of copies and with over 57 million views and 140,000 reviews on Goodreads, this story combines mystery, tension, a twisting plot, and strong emotions in explosive doses right up to the last page.

Two sisters, a brutal murder, and a quest for revenge that will open the gates of Hell itself… along with a toxic romance. Emilia and her twin sister, Vittoria, are strigoi – witches living secretly among humans, remaining in obscurity to avoid persecution. One night, Vittoria fails to arrive on time for dinner service at their famous family restaurant in Sicily. Soon, Emilia finds the body of her beloved sister… horrifically mutilated.

Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's murderer and take revenge at any cost. Even if that means resorting to the dark magic that has been forbidden for years. And then, Emilia meets the Prince of Wrath – one of the Diabolicals, the princes of Hell, who all the stories warned her to stay away from since her childhood.

The Prince of Wrath claims to be on her side, tasked by his master to solve a series of murders of young women on the island. But with the Diabolicals, nothing is as it seems.

“I understood why some believed that the kiss of the Diabolicals was addictive. Every time I felt the ground beneath my feet become fluid. As if we were a catastrophic event that should never have happened.”
