Innamorata: First Edition Sprayed Edge US Import by Ava Reid (Hardback)

A visionary and atmospheric gothic fantasy about necromancy, vengeance, and soul-consuming love from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and Lady Macbeth. This decadently dark first edition hardcover features sprayed edges and full-colour illustrated endpapers, available while supplies last.

Once there was an island where the dead walked the earth and seven noble houses ruled through the forbidden art of necromancy. When a conqueror’s invasion reduced them to ash, their libraries were burned, their rulers slain, and their magic driven underground.

Only the House of Teeth remains.

Its last heirs are Marozia, a beautiful and politically bound heiress, and her cousin Agnes, a silent figure who has not spoken in seven years but carries the true weight of the House’s legacy. Agnes is tasked with restoring what was lost: recovering the secrets of death magic, preserving her family’s honour, and ensuring survival through calculated sacrifice.

To achieve this, she must orchestrate a dangerous alliance—betrothing Marozia to Liuprand, heir to the conqueror’s throne, granting access to his vast and forbidden library within a grotesquely grand castle.

But vengeance is not the only force stirring within Agnes. As she moves through a world of bloodlines and buried knowledge, she finds herself drawn to Liuprand, the golden prince whose presence awakens something she was never meant to feel. Their connection grows into a treasonous pull that threatens to unravel both kingdom and duty.

Agnes has only one final command left to obey: she must not fall in love.
