The sumptuous and powerful conclusion to the gender-fluid duet begun
by The Brilliant Death, hailed in a starred review by Kirkus as a
delicious and magical intrigue too tempting not to devour.
By turns thrilling, witty, and heartbreaking, this dramatic conclusion
to the Brilliant Death duet transports us to a Vinalia on the verge of
transformation and radiates with the electric power of love.
With her power over magic finally in hand, and her love for Cielo at
last confessed, Teodora di Sangro should be on top of the world. But the
country of Vinalia is in chaos as the dictator like Capo threatens to
plunge them all into war and capture every strega in the land--including
Teo and Cielo.
Teo knows she can't take down the Capo alone. She must convince a small
band of streghe who have been hiding in plain sight to join her in the
cause. But as she struggles to bring them together, she discovers a far
deadlier enemy than the Capo has been hunting her all along. Now
everyone--especially Cielo--is in danger. What lengths will Teo go to in
order to unite her country and save the one she loves?
