Emily Thiede's exciting fantasy debut, _This Vicious Grace_, 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? > “Remixing all the best parts of a dark fantasy and a romantic comedy, _This Vicious Grace_ is a wonderfully fun time from start to finish, with lush, complex worldbuilding, intensely relatable characters, and relationships that are easy to root for.” ―Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of _For The Wolf_ Show more Get the Bindery app * * * Posts about this title from chronicallybookish [chronicallybookish\\ \\ Kaley\\ \\ • Jul 17 2025](https://chronicallybookish.binderybooks.com/) [Welcome to the Disability Pride Readathon FANTASY giveaway!
