About this eBook
"One of the best fantasies of the year." - Buzzfeed
"Riveting, passionate, and full of high stakes danger." —Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Emily Thiede's exciting fantasy debut, This Vicious Grace, the first in The Last Finestra duology, will keep readers turning the pages until the devastating conclusion and leave them primed for more!
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?
Don't miss the thrilling conclusion to The Last Finestra duology, This Cursed Light— out now wherever books are sold!

I am FULLY obsessed with this book, it's SO GOOD. The atmosphere Emily Thiede has created within these pages is just so magical and lush and the world building is perfect. I absolutely love Alessa and her inner monologue, she is such a fun character to be inside as a narrator. Dante is perfection - the banter and relationship that grows between them is incredible. I was honestly vibrating with anticipation whenever they were together. Definitely a new favorite, I can't recommend highly enough!!
