The hotly-anticipated sequel to the compelling romantasy With Fire in Their Blood. Return to Castello, the crumbling Italian city torn between two warring mafia clans, where dark magic electrifies the streets and love leads to ruin . . .

In one act of flame and fury, Lilly Deluca plunged the town of Castello into a brutal civil war and was stripped of her own Saintly power in the process. Wanted by opposing clans, Lilly fights to stay ahead of her pursuers while keeping herself and Christian, the boy she loves, alive.

But she cannot escape the city. Castello was built on secrets, and it won't let Lilly out of its deadly grip. Something is calling to her from the depths of the town, promising to be the key to her salvation - returning her power and ending the war for good. . .

With the clans closing in, Lilly must team up with Nico, the beautiful boy from the rival mafia family, to uncover the truth about Castello's dark heart. But as the conflict escalates and her connection to Nico intensifies, Lilly is forced to choose- break her own heart, or risk letting Castello fall forever.

Equal parts thrilling and devastating, this YA romantasy is the epic conclusion to the With Fire In Their Blood duology, perfect for fans of Powerless and V.E. Schwab.
