Description
Emanuela Ragno always gets what she wants. With her daring mind and socialite schemes, she refuses to be the demure young lady everyone wants her to be.
In her most ambitious move yet, she's about to marry Alessandro Morandi, her childhood best friend and the heir to the wealthiest house in Occhia.
Emanuela doesn't care that she and her groom are both gay, because she doesn't want a love match.
She wants power, and through Ale, she'll have it all. But Emanuela has a secret that could shatter her plans.
In the city of Occhia, the only source of water is the watercrea, a mysterious being who uses magic to make water from blood.
When their first bruise-like omen appears on their skin, all Occhians must surrender themselves to the watercrea to be drained of life.
Everyone throughout history has given themselves up for the greater good.
Everyone except Emanuela. She's kept the tiny omen on her hip out of sight for years. When the watercrea exposes Emanuela during her wedding ceremony and takes her to be sacrificed, Emanuela fights back . . . and kills her. Now Occhia has no one to make their water and no idea how to get more.
In a race against time, Emanuela and Ale must travel through the mysterious, blood-red veil that surrounds their city to uncover the secrets of the watercrea's magic and find a way to save their people -- no matter what it takes.
