The Order of Masks by Alina Bellchambers
TREACHERY LOVE MAGIC VENGEANCE
In the cut-throat Ravalian Court, alliances shift in a heartbeat and seduction is the prelude to murder. Only one thing is certain: not everyone will survive.
Circus performer Mira has spent her life on the run. She is determined to secure her future by competing in the deadly Trials and winning a place in one of the three magical royal Orders.
Princess Scarlett is fighting to withstand her half-brothers' sinister ambitions and seize power. Mira is the opportunity she's been waiting for - a dangerous outsider poised to cleave apart the very foundations of the Court.
As Mira and Scarlett navigate a glittering world of magic, court intrigue and forbidden romances, they must decide if they are co-conspirators or rivals in a bloody bid for the throne. Will they sacrifice everything - even their own lovers - for power and revenge?
'Death wasn't the end. It was just the beginning.'
