So excited to finally announce that the second and final Return to Amar book, A Matter of Curiosity, is now available.
An Alice Through the Looking-Glass inspired tale set in a deadly and strange faerie circus, this book is chock full of danger, romance, and a monkey named Chandler. It wraps up the story of Alicia, her two cousins, her imaginary friend Dante, Eugene the illusionist, and Jane as they fight for a second chance after everything that went wrong in book one.
These outcasts came together once to steal from the faerie queen, but this next adventure is going to make that seem like child's play. They're going to have to play a deadly game, as they get picked off one by one, in a desperate bid to defeat Marius. An immortal mage that has no visible weaknesses... who also happens to be Alicia's grandfather.
They lost last time. Can they change their fate and accomplish the impossible? Or have they been doomed from the start?
I'm both ecstatic and just a little mournful. This is the first series I have ever wrapped up (and quite right too seeing as it was only two books long) and on one hand I looooove this ending. But on the other hand, I will miss this band of slightly (and outright) crazy outcasts so much.
But boy... what an ending it is. You certainly don't want to miss this tale, that much is for sure.
Reality is cracking...
It has been nearly a year since the events that put her mother in a coma. Since her grandfather and Dante were imprisoned in the Unrealm. Since she’s last stepped foot in Amar. Trying to put heartache and broken promises behind her, Alicia attempts for the first time in her existence to actually live a regular life with the help of her cousin Olivia who is determined to forget everything that ever happened in Amar. But as cracks begin appearing everywhere, showing glimpses into the other worlds, Alicia realizes that “normal” has always been helplessly out of her reach.
Marius is fighting to break free from his prison, and reality is tearing at the seams to try to hold him in. The only way to save the four realms is for Alicia to find a way to stop her grandfather once and for all. But how does one defeat an immortal? Alicia offers him a bargain. Play a game against her, winner takes all. The stakes are her future, her mother’s life, and the freedom of the boy she loved—and still possibly might. Only the most powerful mage in all Amar will walk away. But in order to win, Alicia must become like her grandfather and be willing to use her friends as pawns. People have betrayed her, but that’s just an occupational hazard, right? What goes around comes around doesn’t it? Anything is fair game when the fate of everything is involved.
In this twisted world trust, safety, and sanity are all just an illusion. And sometimes reality doesn’t deserve to be saved.
