About Rook & Rose Series
“Lush, engrossing, and full of mystery and dark magic,”Β The Mask of MirrorsΒ is the unmissable start to the Rook & Rose trilogy, a dazzlingΒ fantasy adventure by Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms, writing together as M. A. Carrick. (BookPage)
FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD. MAGIC FAVORS THE LIARS.
Ren is a liar and a thief, a pattern-reader and a daughter of no clan. Raised in the slums of NadeΕΎra, she fled that world to save her sister. Now, she has returnedΒ with one goal:Β to trick her way into a noble house, securing her fortune and her sisterβs future.
But in the city of dreams, her masquerade is just one of many. Enigmatic crime lord Derossi Vargo, stony captain of the guard Grey Serrado, dashing heir Leato Traementis,Β and theΒ legendary vigilante known as the Rook all haveΒ secrets that could unravel her own.
And as corrupt nightmare magic begins to weave its way through the city of dreams, the poisonous feuds of its aristocrats and the shadowy dangers of its impoverished underbelly become tangledβwith Ren at their heart.
