Innamorata

There was an island where the dead walked the earth, and seven noble houses ruled using the arcane secrets of necromancy. But a conqueror's sword brought them down. Their libraries were burned, their lords were killed, and their magic was extinguished. But the House of Teeth stands defiant against the new order. Its last surviving members are the beautiful Marozia, the House's heir, and her cousin, the unusual Lady Agnes. Though she hasn't spoken a word in seven years, Agnes truly bears the House's legacy. And she has her own orders. She must recover the secrets of death magic and avenge her family's lost honor. She must arrange the betrothal of her beloved cousin Marozia to Liuprand, the conqueror's heir to the throne, to gain access to the forbidden library in his grotesquely grand castle. The thirst for revenge burns in Agnes's heart, but so do stranger passions; And it is Liuprand, the golden prince, who touches her soul. But this passion, as treacherous as it is powerful, will poison the already shattered kingdom and threaten to tear it in two. For Agnes's final command is the most important of all: she must not fall in love.
