Kingdom of the WickedSpice level, tropes & is it dark romance?
Spice 1/5 (Embers) · Darkness 3/5 (Dark) · 7 trigger warnings flagged · Standalone
Low spice, not dark romance. Good for readers who want romantasy without the heat.
Emilia is a witch in Sicily. Her twin sister is murdered, and to find the killer she summons Wrath, one of the princes of Hell. Book one is a slow burn with almost no spice. Books two and three run much hotter. This note is ours. It is not a publisher blurb.
First published: Hodder & Stoughton / Jimmy Patterson, October 2020. Standalone.
