The Order of Masks 🎭

By Alina Bellchambers.

Dark, glittering and dangerously seductive, The Order of Masks is the first instalment in a fantasy duology that promises betrayal, forbidden love and a fierce bid for power.

From the very first page, Emily Victoria sweeps readers into a world where ambition and survival are intertwined, and trust is a currency few can afford.

Mira, a circus performer hardened by a life on the run, enters the deadly Trials in the hope of securing a place within one of the Court’s powerful magical Orders.

Her path soon collides with that of Princess Scarlett, whose own future is threatened by the ambitions of her half-brothers. Scarlett sees an opportunity in Mira, a dangerous outsider who could tear apart the fragile balance of power within the kingdom.

Told through dual points of view, the story is rich with tension, secrets and slow-burning intrigue. Both Mira and Scarlett are compelling, morally grey heroines, each determined to seize control of their fate, even if it costs them everything they hold dear.

Hidden identities, brutal Trials, court politics and a simmering forbidden romance bring a depth and urgency to their journey that kept me utterly captivated.

Gorgeous in its depiction of betrayal, deception and ambition, The Order of Masks is perfect for readers who love complex female leads, shifting loyalties and stories where the line between co-conspirator and rival blurs dangerously.
