Expected Publication: October 3, 2023
From Goodreads:
The adult debut of #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within her fan-favorite Kingdom of the Wicked world, perfect for readers of fantasy, romance, and mystery alike.
Sinner. Villain. Ruthless.
These are wicked names the Prince of Envy welcomes. They remind him what he isn’t: a saint. And when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows he’ll be called much worse before it ends. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way. With a powerful artifact and his own future at stake, Envy is determined to win, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin—and passion—like no other…
Talented. Darling. Liar.
The trouble with scoundrels and blackguards is that they haven’t a modicum of honor, a fact Miss Camilla Antonius learns after one desperate mistake allows notorious rake—and satire sheet legend—Lord Phillip Vexley to blackmail her. And now it seems Vexley isn’t the only scoundrel interested in securing her unique talents as a painter. To avoid Vexley’s clutches and a ruinous scandal, Camilla is forced to enter a devil’s bargain with Waverly Green’s newest arrival, enigmatic Lord Ashford ‘Syn’ Synton, little expecting his game will awaken her true nature . . .
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the Shifting Isles—from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm, and encounters with exiled Fae—while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.
There are so many YA authors branching into Adult and I’m here for it - do you think you’ll be picking this one up?
I am torn because I recently read the first Kingdom of the Wicked and I didn't really like it. But since this is gonna be an adult book of hers I might consider picking it up if I see many people enjoying it. So just gonna wait and see what the reviews are like.
ReplyDeleteSame! I didn't love that one either. But I am definitely willing to try her adult novel!
DeleteStunning cover! I've seen a lot of love for Maniscalco's book. Hope you'll love this one.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI do like seeing some of these YA authors transitioning to adult books. This sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI love when they branch out!
DeleteIt's crazy how many authors are crossing over (in both directions, though more YA to adult). I have not read this author, but her Jack the Ripper books seem well loved
ReplyDeleteYes! So many are branching out from their debut genres/age group. It gives us more books to love!
DeleteI think I read Keri's YA book! I will have to check this one out. Michele is picking some great books. Loving the cover, too!
