Know your sin, or know your death.

Lesser noble Evelyn Vhodes worships the seven deadly sins and rides demonic horses for pleasure. All she desires is the perfect suitor, until her mother is stricken with a deadly disease.

Only the power of demons can save her. An unharnessed power burrowed in a jungle crater far from their reach. Too costly a venture for a noble house seeking to elevate itself beyond the weight of its debts.

Evelyn’s plan is simple: seduce a pompous prince to solve their problems. Practiced in the art of persuasion, it should be easy enough, but deceiving a man of power risks another host of consequences. Consequences that come into play when two rival princes wrench her into their schemes.

That is, if she doesn’t catch the scrutiny of the princes’ father. The warrior king only shows mercy through blade and blood.

Steeped in relationship drama and political intrigue, this romantic fantasy delivers a story of desire, power, and betrayal. It will meet your craving for a morally complex heroine, who influences broader factions with her toxic choices. Imagine if the femme fatale from Tricia Levenseller’s The Shadows Between Us found herself in the sinful backdrop of Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco.
