Synopsis

I reached out and dark Venice took my hand...

Who created that slide of silk across your skin as you reached for your cinematic lover?  Who recorded the crushing weight of the grizzly as you fought for your life in the fictional wilderness?

Brilliant sensory immersion artist Alyse Kate Bryant of Lone Pine Pictures will do almost anything for the perfect sensory file, but her recklessness finally has consequences.

Now Alyse finds herself trapped in the flooded ruins of Venice, a quarantine camp for the carriers of Sleepers' Syndrome.

But the city grows darker still...

Because the carriers of Sleepers' Syndrome are no longer as human as they seem.

The city of legend is bringing its legends back to life.

They come now, Alyse.

Run.

"A little surreal, kind of like Alice falling down the rabbit hole or walking through the mirror; only this little Alyse has claws." - Mindy Wall, Books, Books, and More Books

"...a mile a minute thrill ride filled with suspense, adventure, and mind-bending plot twists. Fear not for Alyse. She will find her way through the Looking Glass. Even if she has to break it!" - Frishawn, WTF Are You Reading?

"I can honestly say that this series is like nothing I have encountered before. Mythology,legends, folklore and alternate realities collide amid the most lavish historical backdrop. Venice seeps under your skin..." - Lucinda, Amazon Reviewer

About this title

About the Author

Tonya Macalino
lives in that space Between--where the crossroads of past and present tease the senses, taunts the almost-memory. Haunted by story, she seeks it in the shadows of the landscapes of history and in the blinding glare of what-may-come, both alone and with her family of children's book authors: Raymond, Damien, & Heléna Macalino. 

For adults, Tonya's national award-winning supernatural thrillers, THE SPECTRE OF INTENTION and THE SHADES OF VENICE series, combine the mythic surrealism of Pan's Labyrinth with the thrill ride that is LaraCroft: Tomb Raider. 

For children, Tonya's highly acclaimed urban fantasy adventures,THE GATES OF AURONA series, remind readers of the magical family secrets from Spiderwick Chronicles as well the legendary call to heroism of Chronicles of Narnia and the Dark Is Rising.
