Innamorata

A visionary gothic fantasy over necromancy, vengeance enflamed by a soul-consuming love. Book One of The House of Teeth Duology, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and Lady Macbeth, Ava Reid. This dark tale unfolds on a forsaken island where seven noble houses rule through forbidden death magic, challenged by a conqueror who burned libraries and murdered lords. Against this new order, the House of Teeth endures through Marozia, the heiress, and her silent cousin Agnes, bearer of the house’s legacy. Agnes’s grim mission is to reclaim death magic, avenge her family, and engineer the betrothal that grants access to a forbidden library—yet passion for Liuprand, the golden prince, may threaten the realm and her final order: not to fall in love.

On the island, the dead walk the earth and the

seven houses vie for power through arcane secrets. Agnes, who has not spoken in seven years, commands the House’s fate, while Marozia’s betrothal to Liuprand could unlock dangerous knowledge at his grotesquely grand castle. Liuprand’s magnetism unsettles Agnes, pushing her toward a treasonous bond that could upend the kingdom’s foundations.
