The Book of the Mad

In the final volume of the Paradys series, Tanith Lee completes this thrillingly dark and decadent alternate world: the imagined city of Paradys.

In The Book of the Mad, a seductive nightmare unfolds in three parallel versions of the city—Paradis, Paradys and Paradise. Connected by a labyrinth of ice whose dangers are amplified by the will and emotion of its lunatic travelers, these cities provide the stage for a drama of mythical proportions, setting up a darkly dazzling finish to The Secret Books of Paradys.
