The Order of Masks is the first in a seductive, glittering fantasy duology, as two ambitious young women navigate deadly court politics, determined to improve their lives - no matter the sacrifice.
Mira dreams of a glittering future in the Ravalian Court. Training in secret, she intends to compete in the Trials: a deadly competition to join one of three magical Orders. But when her candidacy exposes her mother's dangerous past, they become her only salvation.
Princess Scarlett has spent her life on a knife edge: fighting to survive the deadly politics of court. When she meets Mira, she sees an opportunity to alter the balance of power . . . but only if she can keep her alive.
Caught between warring royal heirs, Mira's success depends on backing the right victor in a bloody bid for the throne. Navigating a shadowy world of magic, court intrigue, and forbidden romance, Mira and Scarlett must choose between love and ambition as they rise up to reshape their worlds.
