Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco - Kingdom of the Wicked Trilogy Book 1

Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco - Book One in a Series

A brutal murder. A forbidden prince. A witch bound by vengeance and drawn to darkness.

Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe—secret witches living quietly among humans in Sicily, hidden from the dangers that once hunted their kind. But when Vittoria is found murdered under horrific circumstances, Emilia’s grief ignites a desperate need for answers… and revenge.

Her search leads her to summon Wrath, one of the Wicked—the feared Princes of Hell their Nonna warned them about since childhood. Cold, calculating, and devastatingly seductive, Wrath claims to be on Emilia’s side. But nothing about the Wicked is ever simple—and the deeper she delves into the dark magic of her heritage, the harder it becomes to know who to trust.

With every clue uncovered, Emilia is drawn further into a world of demons, ancient rivalries, and a slow-burning tension that blurs the line between hatred and desire.
