Reviews"Utterly captivating. Carrick spins an exciting web of mystery, magic, and political treachery in a richly drawn and innovative world."-- S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass, " The Mask of Mirrors is an absolute delight. A compelling tale richly layered with depth and complexity." -- Marshall Ryan Maresca, author of the Maradaine Saga, "A terrific heroine, intricate worldbuilding, and a bewitching combination of comedy-of-manners and action hooked me from the start and never let me go!" -- Sherwood Smith, author of Inda, " The Mask of Mirrors ushers you into the fascinating city of Nadezra, replete with complex politics, intricate magic, and mysteries that readers will be racing to unravel. Wonderfully immersive--I was unable to put it down." -- Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter, "A magnificent tale set in a brilliantly constructed world. Political intrigue, social long-cons of the very best sort, hidden identities stacked two and three deep, telepathic spiders, sparkly gowns and masked balls, and chosen family in all shapes and flavors. The plot is subtle, the social commentary thoughtful, and the whole tale is a featherbed that you want to sink into, disappearing from the world until the reading is done."-- Ancillary Review of Books on The Liar's Knot, "From the first page, I was utterly entranced by this glittering world filled with masked vigilantes, cunning conwomen, and dark magic. A sheer delight!" -- Katy Rose Pool, author of There Will Come A Darkness, "An intricate, compelling dream of a book that kept me turning pages, with a world and characters that felt deeply real and plenty of riveting twists and turns. I loved it!" -- Melissa Caruso, author of The Obsidian Tower, "The richly layered city of Nadezra, combined with the deeply intertwined politics and rivalries of its residents, creates a perfect backdrop for the enchantment of Carrick's plot and characters. A fantastically twisty read." -- Fran Wilde, author of The Bone Universe trilogy

Series Volume Number2

SynopsisA clever con artist, a legendary vigilante, and a dashing crime lord must fight to free their city from the clutches of a dark and ancient magic in the second novel of M. A. Carrick's "utterly captivating" Rook & Rose trilogy. (S. A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass ) TRUST IS THE THREAD THAT BINDS. AND THE ROPE THAT HANGS. In Nadezra, peace is as tenuous as a single thread. The ruthless House Indestor has been destroyed, but darkness still weaves through the city's filthy alleys and jewel-bright gardens, seen by those who know where to look. Derossi Vargo has always known. He has sacrificed more than anyone imagines to carve himself a position of power and influence among the nobility, hiding a will of steel behind a velvet smile. He'll be damned if he lets anyone threaten what he's built. Grey Serrado knows all too well. Bent under the yoke of too many burdens, he fights to protect the city's most vulnerable. Sooner or later, that fight will demand more than he can give. And Ren, daughter of no clan, knows best of all. Caught in a knot of lies, torn between her heritage and her aristocratic masquerade, she relies on her gift for reading pattern to survive. And it shows her the web of darkness that traps her city. But all three have yet to discover just how far that web stretches. And in the end, it will take more than wits and knives to cut themselves free. Praise for the Rook & Rose trilogy: "Lush, engrossing and full of mystery and dark magic . . . Jump in and get swept away." -- BookPage "Will catch hold of your dreams and keep you from sleeping." --Mary Robinette Kowal, author of The Calculating Stars "I was unable to put it down." --Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter "Exactly the fantasy adventure novel you're craving." --Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne "A fantastically twisty read." --Fran Wilde, author of the Bone Universe trilogy "Immersive...a feast to savor slowly." --BuzzFeed "For those who like their revenge plots served with the intrigue of The Goblin Emperor , the colonial conflict of The City of Brass , the panache of Swordspoint , and the richly detailed settings of Guy Gavriel Kay." -- Booklist (starred review)
