Kingdom of the Feared is a dark fantasy romance novel by Kerri Maniscalco, published in 2022. It serves as the high-stakes, explosive conclusion to her bestselling Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy, seamlessly blending Italian folklore, murder mysteries, and demonic court politics.

In this final installment, Emilia has grown from a sheltered witch into a powerful, dangerous player in the underworld. She is now bound to Wrath, one of the powerful Princes of Hell. When a shocking new murder occurs, a deeply buried secret about the Princes of Hell is unearthed. Emilia must untangle a web of ancient curses, divine betrayals, and political assassinations to find her sister's true killer and claim her ultimate destiny—even if it means embracing her own darkest impulses.
