Kingdom of the Wicked

Two sisters find themselves torn apart by a heinous crime, sparking a journey for justice that risks summoning the darkest forces. From the bestselling author known for "Stalking Jack the Ripper" comes a gripping new series. Emilia and her identical sister, Vittoria, are witches—streghe—who live incognito among ordinary people, carefully dodging any attention or danger. Their peaceful existence shatters one night when Vittoria does not appear for her shift at their famous Sicilian family restaurant. What Emilia discovers is beyond comprehension: her twin’s body, brutally mangled. Driven by grief, Emilia is determined to track down the murderer and exact revenge, even if it requires employing long-forbidden dark magic. In her pursuit, she encounters Wrath, a prince of Hell, whom she has been warned about in fables since childhood. Wrath asserts that he is allied with Emilia, assigned by his ruler to investigate the string of female deaths on the island. However, when dealing with the Wicked, one can never be sure what is true and what is deceptive.
