Kerri Maniscalco

Kerri Maniscalco is an author of dark fantasy and historical mystery whose novels pair determined heroines with dangerous investigations, supernatural bargains, and rivalries. Kingdom of the Wicked opens a tale of murder, witchcraft, and the princes of Hell; Kingdom of the Cursed and Kingdom of the Feared widen its court politics and moral tests. Throne of the Fallen stays in that imaginative world while giving temptation a different romantic focus.

Hunting Prince Dracula and Escaping from Houdini belong to Maniscalco's historical mystery sequence. Their investigations unfold through forensic curiosity, theatrical settings, and threats that challenge appearances. The two groups show distinct sides of her fiction: the Kingdom novels emphasize infernal fantasy and power, while the mystery books rely on clues, period atmosphere, and suspense. That contrast lets readers choose between a continuous fantasy arc and a case-driven adventure.
