A lush tale full of enemies-to-lovers tension, whimsical magic, villain romance, and slow-burn desire, set in an enchanted, perilous Florence where forbidden power could ignite a war. “Truly radiant.” Rachel Gillig, New York Times bestselling author of One Dark Window LOVE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS MAGIC. As a sculptress, Ravenna Maffei has always shaped beauty from stone but she has a terrible secret. Desperate to save her brother, she enters a competition hosted by Florence’s most feared immortal family, revealing a dark power in a city where magic is forbidden. Now a captive in the cutthroat city of Florence, Ravenna is forced into a dangerous task where failure meets certain death at the hands of Saturnino dei Luni, the immortal family's mesmerizing but merciless heir. But as he draws her closer, Ravenna realizes the true threat lies beyond Florence’s walls. The Pope’s war against magic is closing in, and Ravenna is no longer just a prisoner but a prize to be claimed. As trusting the wrong person becomes lethal, Ravenna must survive the treacherous line between a pope's obsession and the seductive immortal who might be the end of her ― or surrender her power to a city on the brink of war. “ This book will carve itself into your heart and never let go.” Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author Read if you love: · Enemies to lovers · Forced proximity · Villain romance · Whimsical, atmospheric magic · Slow-burn tension · Moral grayness This stunning luxe edition includes a gorgeous cover printed over foil with a custom two color map endpapers, pink gilded ends, and a full foil custom case stamp.
