'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
Darkly magical and beautifully imagined

The Mask of Mirrors is the unmissable start to the Rook & Rose trilogy

a rich and dazzling fantasy adventure in which a con artist

a vigilante

and a crime lord must unite to save their city.
Nightmares are creeping through the city of dreams . . .
Renata Virdaux is a con artist who has come to the sparkling city of Nadezra -- the city of dreams -- with one goal: to trick her way into a noble house and secure her fortune and her sister's future.
But as she's drawn into the aristatic world of House Traementis

she realises her masquerade is just one of many surrounding her. And as corrupted magic begins to weave its way through Nadezra

the poisonous feuds of its aristats and the shadowy dangers of its impoverished underbelly become tangled -- with Ren at their heart.
