About this ebook

An instant New York Times bestseller!

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


This edition uses deckle edges; the uneven paper edge is intentional.

Ratings and reviews

my actual review exceeds the provided character limit but you can find it on my site Once Upon a Time I Read a Book dotcom. This was a rollercoaster ride of emotions for me and I absolutely love this book. I now own multiple copies of it because oops, favourite books are one of my autistic obsessions AND I CAN'T HAVE JUST ONE COPY. I was a part of the blog tour launch and received an ARC from the publisher for reviewing purposes.

Contrary to what the blurb suggests, Nadya is not the main character throughout the book. No, she becomes a side character and a mere love interest in her own story when she starts a romance with a boy. Just no.
