Emanuela Ragno always gets what she wants. With her daring mind and
socialite schemes, she refuses to be the demure young lady everyone
wants her to be. In her most ambitious move yet, she's about to
marry Alessandro Morandi, her childhood best friend and the heir to
the wealthiest house in Occhia. Emanuela doesn't care that she and
her groom are both gay, because she doesn't want a love match. She
wants power, and through Ale, she'll have it all. But Emanuela has
a secret that could shatter her plans. In the city of Occhia, the
only source of water is the watercrea, a mysterious being who uses
magic to make water from blood. When their first bruise-like omen
appears on their skin, all Occhians must surrender themselves to
the watercrea to be drained of life. Everyone throughout history
has given themselves up for the greater good. Everyone except
Emanuela. She's kept the tiny omen on her hip out of sight for
years. When the watercrea exposes Emanuela during her wedding
ceremony and takes her to be sacrificed, Emanuela fights back . . .
and kills her. Now Occhia has no one to make their water and no
idea how to get more. In a race against time, Emanuela and Ale must
travel through the mysterious, blood-red veil that surrounds their
city to uncover the secrets of the watercrea's magic and find a way
to save their people -- no matter what it takes.
Fans of Holly Black and Kendare Blake will obsess over the
conclusion to this deliciously dark YA fantasy duology! Emanuela
has finally gotten what she's always wanted. Since escaping her
catacomb prison, she's become the supreme ruler of everything under
the veils. Finally, she has the power to throw aside senseless, old
traditions and run things exactly the way they should be. But when
cracks in her magic start to show, Emanuela begrudgingly allies
herself with her enemies, including her frustratingly alluring
archnemesis, Verene. Together, discover deeper truths about the
mysterious blood magic Emanuela and Verene both wield. There is a
higher, otherworldly authority outside the veils, and in order to
save Occhia and the other realms, Emanuela may just have to rip
another crown off someone's head.
