Kingdom of the Wicked
by Kerri Maniscalco
2020

Series background & context
The Kingdom of the Wicked series starts in 19th century Palermo, where twin witches Emilia and Vittoria help run their family's busy trattoria by day and practice small, secret spells by night. Nonna Maria fills their heads with stories about the Wicked, the seven demon princes of legend, and warns them never to remove their protective cornicello amulets.
When young witches begin turning up murdered with their hearts missing, those tales stop feeling like folklore. In Kingdom of the Wicked Emilia finds Vittoria's mutilated body and channels her grief into a fierce promise of revenge. Her search for answers leads her to summon Wrath, one of the princes she was raised to fear, and the uneasy alliance that follows pulls her into demon politics, forbidden magic, and a murder investigation that runs through catacombs, monasteries, and gambling dens.
Kingdom of the Cursed opens after Emilia has made a dangerous bargain that takes her into the Seven Circles themselves. Traveling beside Wrath, she enters a court where temptation, etiquette, and power are all tangled together. Lavish demon palaces, masked balls, and the ritual of the Feast of the Wolf give the books a decadent, almost operatic feel, even as Emilia hunts for cursed relics and tries to untangle who is lying to her about Vittoria's death.
In Kingdom of the Feared the stakes rise again when Emilia learns her twin is alive and implicated in the assassination of a high ranking member of House Greed. To clear Vittoria's name and keep the demon realm from sliding into war, Emilia and Wrath move between rival courts, confront the mysterious beings known as the Feared, and peel back old curses that connect witches, demons, and gods.
Throughout the trilogy Maniscalco weaves Sicilian folklore, Catholic imagery, and mouthwatering food into a story about anger, desire, and what it costs to claim your own power. The tone shifts from murder mystery with a romantic thread to full romantasy, but the central questions about trust, loyalty, and choice stay in focus.
For the best experience, read the books in order from Kingdom of the Wicked through Kingdom of the Feared before diving into the related Princes of Sin novels that pick up with the demon princes after this story's main arc.
