The Palace of Pleasure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949043440)

Amalina's dark adventure continues. Now helplessly folded into the creature's plans, Amalina struggles to remain above suspicion as she works against him, serving as an agent for the commander of a growing counterforce intent on bringing him down. All while trying to keep her friend, a guileless princess from the west, entertained, unaware of her peril, and out of harm's way.

" ... Building on all the suspense from the first book ... C.L. Holmes writes in so many textures, colors and layers ... Dressing up horror with panache and aplomb, The Palace of Pleasure is a must-read." Five-Star Review Nicky Flowers, Indies Today.

"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 The Palace of Pleasure)." -- Bad Hound Press
