A final tale of rebellion and escape in a gothic horror setting.

C L Holmes concludes Amalina’s dark adventure in The Silver Army. This final installment follows a revolutionary army in Ardeel as they root out a traitor before attacking a master’s castle with an indestructible force. Amalina hatches a plot to escape the monster she has served for years, while he prepares his own fiendish plan. The narrative races toward a climax where speed determines survival. The work evokes the atmosphere of a classic horror tale. It offers an original story about dealing with powerlessness against an unrelenting force. Holmes employs dark humor and suspense to present new takes on genre tropes. The plot grows to surprising, epic proportions within this concluding volume. Bad Hound Press notes that the book quickly expands in scope while maintaining its tense mood. This book suits readers who enjoy gothic fiction with political undertones and supernatural elements. It appeals to those who appreciate stories where characters face overwhelming odds. Readers seeking lighthearted fantasy or simple romance will likely find the tone too grim.
