Alice tries to live a normal life known as "the girl who blows things up," and is haunted by dark dreams of an epic medieval battle and the armored specter of her deceased father.

MALICE: Metamorphosis is the next storyline in the MALICE universe, and takes place a year after Alice survived her confrontation with the beast beneath her home. She saved her mom and sister, but lost her warrior dad. Trying to live a normal life in the small town that knows her as "the girl who blows things up," Alice is haunted by dark dreams of an epic medieval battle and the armored specter of her dead father. Are her nightmares harbingers of an impending disaster that threatens the town? Or is Alice simply going mad as the line between fantasy and reality blurs? As she makes new friends and confronts new enemies, this story will keep you guessing her fate until the very last minute.—Philip J. Cook
