What to expect

Love is the most dangerous magic.
As a sculptress, Ravenna Maffei has always shaped beauty from stone, but she has a terrible secret. Desperate to save her brother, she enters a competition hosted by Florence's most feared immortal family, revealing a dark power in a city where magic is forbidden.

Now a captive in the cutthroat city, Ravenna is forced into a dangerous task where failure means certain death at the hands of Saturnino dei Luni, the immortal family's mesmerizing but merciless heir. But as he draws her closer, Ravenna realizes the true threat lies beyond Florence's walls.

The Pope's war against magic is closing in, and Ravenna is no longer just a prisoner but a prize to be claimed. As trusting the wrong person becomes lethal, Ravenna must survive the treacherous line between the pope's obsession and the seductive immortal who might be the end of her ― or surrender her power to a city on the brink of war.

In her adult debut, Ibañez delivers a fantasy teeming with political schemes, scandalous romance, and clever twists that make it a true homage to its Renaissance setting. Like flies to a web, readers will find themselves pulled into a world of tangling ambitions, ruthless power grabs, and fate-altering secrets. This one's a must-read for 2025
AYANA GRAY
A sumptuous and intoxicating standalone from the singularly swoonworthy imagination of Isabel Ibañez. Ibañez deftly sculpts a tale of magic, menace and mystery amidst the glittering backdrop of Renaissance Italy. Every page is a feast for one's daydreams

Lush, evocative, and utterly enthralling - this is historical fantasy at its finest. With prose as sharp as a sculptor's chisel, a romance that burns slow and deep, and a world brimming with political intrigue and whispered magic, this book will carve itself into your heart and never let go
