About the Kingdom of the Wicked series

Emilia and her twin sister Vittoria are witches in a small Sicilian village, secretly practicing a craft their village would burn them for. When Vittoria is found ritually murdered, Emilia turns to the one power dark enough to help her find the killer: she summons Wrath, a Prince of Hell, and strikes a bargain that pulls her into his demonic court and its deadly politics.

Maniscalco (known for the Stalking Jack the Ripper series) leans into sensory, food-and-witchcraft-soaked Sicilian setting, a slow-burn romance with a genuinely dangerous demon love interest, and a revenge plot that keeps escalating the stakes across the trilogy as Emilia is forced deeper into Hell's court politics to get the justice she wants. Wrath is charming, lethal, and never fully safe -- exactly the kind of morally grey love interest the genre trades in -- and the sisterly bond driving Emilia's quest gives the revenge plot real emotional weight.

For readers who want demon-court romantasy with an Italian setting, witchy sisterhood, and a heroine willing to bargain with Hell itself for vengeance, this trilogy is a genre favorite.
