Synopsis

In the enchanting and dangerous world of 19th-century Sicily, twin streghe, Emilia and Vittoria, live secretly among humans, mastering their ancient magic while operating their family's renowned restaurant. Their peaceful existence shatters when Emilia discovers Vittoria's body, brutally murdered and desecrated, an act of violence that plunges Emilia into a relentless quest for vengeance. Driven by grief and a burning desire for justice, Emilia is willing to wield forbidden dark magic, crossing lines she once swore to uphold. Her desperate search leads her to Wrath, one of the seven Wicked Princes of Hell—feared figures from childhood tales. Though Emilia has been warned against their kind, Wrath claims to be an ally, tasked with investigating the spate of women's murders plaguing the island. Yet, the Wicked are masters of deception, and as Emilia delves deeper into a world of demons, forbidden magic, and ancient rivalries, she must navigate treacherous alliances and undeniable attractions, questioning everyone's motives, including her own heart, in a quest that could unleash hell itself.
