Change is coming. As much as Amalina enjoys her new noble life in the western kingdoms, the old one pulls her back home. Must Amalina always return to her master and his castle? Weaving through a gauntlet of family, friends, and guests (common and royal), barely a step ahead of the law, new revolutionaries, and a deadly conspiracy against her, Amalina begins the difficult steps to free herself from the powerful creature she works for. As always, surprises abound, which threaten her plans-and her life!
"Evoking the atmosphere of a classic horror tale, Amalina's is an original, compelling story of dealing with powerlessness in the face of an unrelenting force. With dark humor, suspense, and new takes on genre tropes, it quickly grows to surprising, epic proportions (and it continues here in A Brocade Army)."
