Though the elemental magic system is fairly standard, Thiede’s dramatic and fantastical debut is artfully colored with Italian-inspired lore.
But she doesn’t expect that Dante may be exactly the one she needs in order to control her power-or that his dark secrets could lead to their demise. When a rebellious preacher incites others to turn against Alessa and attempts are made to assassinate her, she hires Dante, a murderer, to be her bodyguard while she races to find another Fonte and save Saverio from the next Divorando. But her touch has already killed three Fontes, and her people are losing faith in her. Alessa, Saverio’s newest Finestra, craves to belong and to be touched. The deities came to an agreement: Crollo will send scarabeo-insectlike demons-to attack the humans in a calamity known as the Divorando, but Dea will send protection in the form of a pair of divine saviors-a Fonte blessed with defensive magic and a Finestra whose responsibility it is to amplify that magic. In the beginning, Dea created humans, and Crollo wanted to cleanse the earth of them.
A goddess-blessed young woman must find the perfect partner in order to protect her island from being devoured by demons.
