The Last Finestra

In a world where the divine and deadly intertwine, The Last Finestra series unfolds a hauntingly intricate tale of power, loss, and forbidden love. Alessa is cursed with a magical gift that should save her people—but instead, it kills every suitor who touches her. Marked by tragedy and left to navigate a life of isolation, she must come to terms with her powers and the consequences they carry. But when danger rises and alliances become as frail as the people around her, Alessa’s only hope lies in a bodyguard, Dante, whose own dark past holds secrets that could shatter everything she believes in.

This series draws readers into a beautifully dark world where nothing is as it seems. Alessa’s journey is one of self-discovery, as she faces not only external forces but the internal battle of trusting herself in a society that has turned against her. With every step, the stakes rise higher, and the shadow of betrayal looms large.

Thiede’s world-building is as complex and layered as the emotions that drive her characters. The lush settings are steeped in mystery, magic, and danger, creating a world that feels both familiar and otherworldly. From high tension to tender moments, the story seamlessly blends action, romance, and myth in a way that resonates long after the final page.

The Last Finestra consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
