"Prepare for a snow-frosted, blood-drenched fairy tale where the monsters steal your heart and love ends up being the nightmare.” (Roshani Chokshi)

​Emily A. Duncan's debut novel set the publishing world abuzz and was an instant New York Times bestseller. The book continues to make waves and has won itself many die-hard fans. Duncan wrote Wicked Saints while in grad school at Kent State University, where she graduated with a Master's degree in Library Science. Now, she balances writing and working full-time as a youth services librarian.

Wicked Saints is the thrilling start to Emily A. Duncan’s devastatingly Gothic Something Dark and Holy trilogy. ​

A girl who can speak to gods must save her people without destroying herself.

A prince in danger must decide who to trust.

A boy with a monstrous secret waits in the wings.

Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war.

In a centuries-long war where beauty and brutality meet, their three paths entwine in a shadowy world of spilled blood and mysterious saints, where a forbidden romance threatens to tip the scales between dark and light. 

Content warning: this book contains graphic violence, blood, child abuse, and drinking.
