Innamorata - Ava Reid

Once there was an island where the dead walked the earth, and seven noble houses ruled by the arcane secrets of necromancy.A conqueror s blade brought them low, burning their libraries, killing their lords, and extinguishing their eldritch magic.But defiant against the new order stands the House of Teeth and its last living members: beautiful Marozia, the heiress to the House, and her cousin, the uncanny Lady Agnes.Though she has not spoken a word in seven years, Agnes is the true carrier of the House s legacy. And she has her orders. She must recapture the secrets of death magic and avenge her family s fallen honour.She must arrange the betrothal of her beloved cousin Marozia to Liuprand, heir to the conqueror s throne, for access to the forbidden library in his grotesquely grand castle.Revenge burns in Agnes s heart, but so do stranger passions and it is Liuprand, the golden prince, who speaks to her soul. This passion is as treasonous as it is powerful, poisoning the kingdom s roots and threatening to tear the already shattered realm in two.For Agnes s final order is the gravest: She must not fall in love.
