In the boroughs of New York City, two rival witch families with bad blood between them reign over vast criminal empires. On one side, the Fedorov brothers enforce their father, Koschei the Deathless's extortion in the shadows. On the other are the beautiful and intimidating Antonova sisters -- who run the apothecary shop that serves as a front for their mother Baba Yaga's illegal magical intoxicants. Tumultuously romantic, dramatic, and darkly enchanting -- Olivie Blake's ONE FOR MY ENEMY retells Romeo and Juliet touched by Russian folklore and grounded in present-day Manhattan.
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes an intricate web of love, magic, and rival witch families in New York City.

In modern-day Manhattan where we lay our scene, two rival witch families fight to maintain control of their respective criminal empires.
On one side of the conflict are the Antonova sisters — each one beautiful, cunning, and ruthless — and their mother, the elusive supplier of premium intoxicants, known only as Baba Yaga. On the other side, the influential Fedorov brothers serve their father, the crime boss known as Koschei the Deathless, whose ventures dominate the shadows of magical Manhattan.
After twelve years of tenuous co-existence, one family member brutally crosses the line. Bad blood reignites old grudges; at the same time, fate intervenes with a chance encounter between enemies. In the wake of love and vengeance, everyone must choose a side. As each of the siblings struggles to stake their claim, bloodshed in inevitable.
