Synopsis
After selling her soul to become Queen of the Wicked, Emilia travels to the Seven Circles with the enigmatic Prince of Wrath, where she is introduced to a seductive world of vice. She vows to do whatever it takes to avenge her beloved sister, Vittoria, even if that means descending into Hell itself and accepting the hand of the Prince of Pride, the king of demons. With back-stabbing princes, luxurious palaces, mysterious party invitations and conflicting clues about who really killed her twin, Emilia finds herself more alone than ever, and she cannot be sure she can even trust Wrath, her one-time ally in the mortal world, or whether he is keeping dangerous secrets about his true nature. The second book of the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy.
