Once there was an island where the dead walked the earth, and seven noble houses ruled by the arcane secrets of necromancy.
A conqueror’s blade brought them low, burning their libraries, killing their lords, and extinguishing their eldritch magic.
But defiant against the new order stands the House of Teeth and its last living members: beautiful Marozia, the heiress to the House, and her cousin, the uncanny Lady Agnes.
Though she has not spoken a word in seven years, Agnes is the true carrier of the House’s legacy. And she has her orders. She must recapture the secrets of death magic and avenge her family’s fallen honor. She must arrange the betrothal of her beloved cousin Marozia to Liuprand, heir to the conqueror’s throne, for access to the forbidden library in his grotesquely grand castle.
Revenge burns in Agnes’s heart but so do stranger passions—and it is Liuprand, the golden prince, who speaks to her soul. This passion is as treasonous as it is powerful, poisoning the kingdom’s roots and threatening to tear the already shattered realm in two.
For Agnes’s final order is the gravest: She must not fall in love.

Kritikerstimmen
“Symphonically lyrical, unflinchingly dark, and terrifyingly romantic, Innamorata is old-school gothic tapestry spun by the deftest of contemporary hands.”—S.T. Gibson, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Dowry of Blood
“Innamorata is a gorgeously gruesome Gothic romance. With a sepulchral setting and cast of characters that wouldn’t seem out of place in Castle Gormenghast, it reads like the gory bones of a forgotten folktale.”—Jacqueline Carey

One of the best audiobook performances I’ve listened to in a very long time.
I’m extremely picky with narrators, especially with lyrical or atmospheric books, and this narrator absolutely elevated the experience for me. Her voice is clear, grounded, expressive, and immersive without ever sounding overly dramatic or forced. Every character felt distinct, even minor ones, and the way she handled the male voices was especially impressive. Natural and believable rather than exaggerated or distracting, which is something I usually struggle with in audiobooks narrated by women.
The pacing, pauses, and emotional delivery fit the tone of the story perfectly. She captured the tenderness, dread, grotesqueness, and dreamlike atmosphere so well that I genuinely felt like the audiobook improved my reading experience. Even scenes that could have easily become overly theatrical or absurd in another performance felt restrained, emotional, and believable here.
As for the story itself: this is not a conventional romantasy. It feels much more like a philosophical gothic fantasy wrapped in romance, exploring themes of death, beauty, vengeance, hunger, monstrosity, grief, forbidden love, and the uncomfortable reality of being human. Even love itself is treated this way: still bound to desire, mortality, and the body in ways that can become both beautiful and destructive.
What surprised me most was the romance itself. I initially expected something far darker and more overtly toxic, but instead the relationship develops through restraint, observation, glances, and emotional recognition rather than constant domination or seduction. It felt incredibly intimate and reverent without ever losing intensity, which made the emotional impact of the story hit even harder.
This absolutely will not be for everyone, and I strongly recommend checking trigger warnings beforehand. It’s disturbing, atmospheric, emotionally intense, and at times deeply uncomfortable. But for readers who enjoy character-driven gothic fantasy that trusts the reader, invites interpretation, and lingers in your mind long after finishing it, this was genuinely one of the most memorable reading experiences I’ve had in years.
In the end, I expected this book to horrify me. I did not expect it to make me more compassionate.
