INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Kerri Maniscalco makes her adult debut with this New York Times bestselling sensation, a "hot" new standalone fantasy romance (Jennifer L. Armentrout) about a dark prince battling an impossible curse—and the artist who might be the only one who can set him free.
Sinner. Villain. Wicked.
The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint. But when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win and save his falling demon court. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin like no other…
Virtuous. Darling. Liar.
The trouble with scoundrels and blackguards is that they haven’t a modicum of honor, a fact Miss Camilla Antonius learns after one desperate mistake allows Waverly Green’s most notorious rake to blackmail her. To avoid a ruinous scandal, Camilla is forced to enter a devil’s bargain with Envy, little expecting his game will awaken her true nature . . .
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the Underworld—from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond—while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Maniscalco makes her adult fiction debut with a seductive standalone romantasy set in the world of her bestselling YA series, Kingdom of the Wicked. Lennox, the Unseelie King, invites the Prince of Envy into a deadly game of riddles with an unknown group of dangerous players. To protect his demon court from Lennox's wrath, Envy agrees. This scavenger hunt takes Envy to the mortal city of Waverly Green, where he disguises himself as Lord Ashford "Syn" Synton and seeks out artist Camilla Elise Antonius, who should have his next clue. To avoid ruin after being blackmailed by notorious rake Lord Vexley, Camilla strikes a deal with Envy—despite declaring him "insufferable"—and is swept into the game as well. Together, they travel through the magical underworld to confront Lennox, all while dodging enemies, solving puzzles, and trying to deny their ever-growing attraction. Unbeknownst to Envy, however, Camilla, too, is not what she seems. When the duo's secrets unravel, will the truth bring them together or tear them apart? Maniscalco crafts a deliciously dark supernatural world that serves as the perfect backdrop for Camilla and Envy's angst and sexual tension. Old fans and new readers alike will be sucked in.
