A GAME OF SIN
EBOOK
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 debut 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 conniving Margaery Tyrell from A Game of Thrones entered the sinful backdrop of Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco.
"My oh my, what an adventure that was! Demon religion, morally flawed characters, kingdoms, assholian kings and bratty princes. What's not to love?"
“At one point, I realized I was fully tearing up over these horrible, sinful people trying (and failing) to do better […]”
“The entire worldbuilding and the religious aspect of it KILLED it in this book! […] This is dark, this is the perfect amount of spicy and a morally grey everyone!”

Not right now. If there’s demand for it, I may translate A Game of Sin to Norwegian myself. A proper translation requires time and care. That’s time I could spend on sequels or other books. It’s unfortunate, but I always have to choose how to spend that writing time.
