“Beware of waking the gods, their dreams are often our nightmares...”

A book of dangerous magic draws two readers into a perilous quest to find it—and their own happy ending—in this action-packed standalone fantasy romance from New York Times bestselling sensation Kerri Maniscalco.

A prince who prefers games of the head to those of the heart.

Prince Sloth hates leaving his enchanted library, but when a forgotten deity threatens the very fabric of the Underworld, he’s thrust into a race against time. He must find the Book of Nightmares—an ancient artifact that has the power to break worlds—before it unleashes a deadly game to free its master, the Goddess of Night. When a betrayal leaves him marked, and desperate, his path collides with a young woman who possesses the legendary Phoenix Tear—a portal stone unlike any other.

A librarian who is all sweet sunshine…until she burns.

Lore Brimstone has always loved getting lost in a book—but she never meant literally. Yet, after visiting a traveling caravan, she quickly finds herself transported to a terrifying but oddly familiar world—with the worst, twisted prince at her side. Realizing they are living out her favorite novels one by one, they face off against an increasingly dark magic as they try to survive the story.

A twisted tale that means they can’t trust themselves—or their hearts.

As Lore and Sloth navigate the pages of her beloved novels gone wrong, she must channel her inner main character to defeat the Book of Nightmares before the wall between the gods and mortals comes crashing down, dooming them all.

Also known as Throne of the Fallen Book 3.

Kerri Maniscalco

Kerri Maniscalco has a gift for weaving dark, atmospheric tales that blend history, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural. Growing up in a semi-haunted house just outside New York City, her fascination with gothic settings began early, and it's this eerie allure that continues to seep into her writing. When she's not conjuring up spellbinding stories, Kerri enjoys a good cup of tea, indulging in her love of cooking, and sharing life’s finer moments with her cats.

Her debut series, Stalking Jack the Ripper, introduced readers to Audrey Rose Wadsworth, a fierce, forward-thinking young woman investigating the notorious Jack the Ripper case. With Stalking Jack the Ripper, Hunting Prince Dracula, Escaping From Houdini, and Capturing the Devil, Kerri quickly earned a dedicated following and cemented her place as a master of gothic suspense and historical fantasy.

Following the success of her thrilling historical mysteries, Kerri ventured into darker, more fantastical realms with Kingdom of the Wicked, a spellbinding fantasy series full of witches, demons, and the deadly sins. Her work invites readers into a world where magic is dangerous, love is forbidden, and everything is tinged with danger.

In 2023, Kerri expanded her universe with Throne of the Fallen, the first in her Princes of Sin series. This adult fantasy romance takes place within the Kingdom of the Wicked world, exploring the seductive and deadly dynamics between powerful beings and the humans who dare to love them. The sequel, Throne of Secrets, was released in October 2024, diving deeper into the political intrigue and complex relationships within the magical realm.

Kerri’s books are known for their atmospheric settings, complex characters, and deeply emotional arcs. Whether it's the gritty investigations of historical mysteries or the enchanting and perilous realms of her fantasy series, her stories captivate with an irresistible blend of tension, mystery, and heart. When she's not writing, Kerri keeps in touch with her fans through her engaging social media presence, offering a glimpse into her creative process and sharing behind-the-scenes moments from her writing journey.

Her ability to craft stories that evoke both tension and beauty, filled with characters who challenge expectations and fight against the odds, continues to inspire readers around the world. Whether you're lost in the streets of Victorian London or drawn into a world where witches rule, Kerri Maniscalco’s books offer an experience that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.

Prince of Sin

At the heart of the series are characters whose inner battles mirror the very sins they are bound to—each cursed with desires that threaten to destroy everything they hold dear. The world-building is rich and immersive, from the shadowy corners of royal courts to the magical landscapes that pulse with both beauty and danger. With every turn, Prince of Sin blurs the line between right and wrong, pulling readers into a whirlwind of unpredictable twists and an atmosphere thick with tension.

Each book in the series introduces a new prince, offering readers a fresh lens through which to experience a world filled with temptation, loyalty, and moral ambiguity. As the stories unfold, relationships evolve, alliances shift, and a deeper mystery emerges—one that threatens not only the princes' world but the hearts of those who dare to love them.

If you're drawn to complex, morally gray characters and intricate, unpredictable plots, Prince of Sin delivers in spades. With Kerri Maniscalco's signature storytelling, each page is infused with dark intrigue and an emotional pull that keeps you turning pages late into the night. Will you embrace the sin, or resist it? The choice, like the princes themselves, is never simple.
