In the treacherous, vice-filled court of Hell’s Seven Circles, Emilia—who sold her soul to become Queen of the Wicked—navigates constant betrayal and distrust as she quests for magical objects to avenge her murdered twin and uncover her past, caught between two demon princes in a morally gray landscape of deception.
