This Vicious Grace
Three weddings. Three funerals. Alessa’s gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner’s magic, not kill every suitor she touches.
Now, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island’s only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her.
Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard. But as rebellion explodes outside the gates, Dante’s dark secrets may be the biggest betrayal. He holds the key to her survival and her heart, but is he the one person who can help her master her gift or destroy her once and for all?
Emily Thiede's exciting fantasy debut, This Vicious Grace, will keep readers turning the pages until the devastating conclusion and leave them primed for more!
Emily Thiede
Emily Thiede spent the first half of her life in New Jersey and the rest in Virginia, so she talks fast but knows how to use “bless your heart” effectively. After a childhood spent dreaming of riding dragons and reading high up in a tree, she channeled her love for books into a career as an elementary school teacher before becoming an author.
As an alumna of both the PitchWars and the Author Mentor Match programs, Emily is an active member of the YA community, and her favorite stories to write are those with apocalyptic stakes and characters who can't resist teasing each other and flirting with their enemies even as the world crumbles around them.
The Last Finestra
