About the book
Uncovering her father's peculiar final manuscript has only brought chaos and shadows into Haven Marbury's world. In the second installment of the Malice Compendium, the ominous words on the page pose a threat to all.
Now a target as well as a pursuer, Haven embarks on a journey far and wide to unravel the intricacies of her family's curse and avoid the worst of her late father's creations. Paranoia grips her as she dreads Uncle Arnold the most. His seductive whispers compel individuals to commit atrocious acts, and he is eager to manipulate Haven's talents to reshape the world to his liking.
Attracted to the arid scrublands and opulent mansions of California, Haven stumbles upon a series of killings that trace back to her own kin. Finding refuge with a mysterious patron, Haven and her sibling form dubious alliances, utilizing otherworldly beings to track down their enemies. And as the trail of death leads to a movie studio from the heyday of horror cinema, reality and fiction intertwine in the most peculiar of ways.
