City of Masks
The Bone Mask Cycle Book 1
by Ashley Capes
Genre: Epic Fantasy Adventure
When
a royal conspiracy topples the noble House Falco, Sofia must take up
the burden of her father's mantle and assume guardianship of his
Greatmask. Yet the sentient bone mask, powerful enough to Compel
those around her, will not speak, and Sofia, the first female
Protector in a hundred years, is left defenceless.
Hunted
by the king, she is driven from the palace and must fight for
survival, alone in the cold streets of Anaskar. There, she crosses
paths with Notch, a bitter mercenary with problems of his own.
Accused of murder, Notch is trying to clear his name while hunted by
the city's robed assassins, the very people who are now searching for
Sofia.
To
take back their city and cast down the tyrant on the throne, Sofia
and Notch must face the blades of Anaskar's assassins, the rage of a
mighty sea beast, and the mysterious Lupo, a man with a Greatmask of
his own, who has masterminded vicious terrorist attacks on the city
that spurned him.
Their
struggle threatens to tear the city – and the kingdom - into
shreds.

Greatmask
The Bone Mask Cycle Book 3
The
Ecsoli have taken Anaskar, raiding the city for bones of the Sea God
and holding King Oseto captive in his own palace. Yet there he
discovers an even greater threat in the form of his own Greatmask,
who grows impatient for the Sacrifice.
Hiding
in the blackened streets, Flir must deal with her uncertainty
regarding Kanis while gathering a resistance force, where she
discovers even her vast strength seems useless before the
blue-cloaked Ecsoli.
Beyond
the Wards, Ain heads home, ready to face the shame of failing at the
Sea Shrine. Instead, he finds mysterious and deadly Darklings hunting
his loved ones. In his desperation he makes a startling discovery
about his Pathfinder heritage.
Meanwhile,
miles distant, Sofia and her father struggle for mastery of Argeon
and Osani as they race toward the city. A battered Notch finds
himself making a similar journey, just as unsure if he will return in
time to help the city in its darkest hour, as enemies pour through
its broken walls.
The Last Sea God
The Bone Mask Cycle Book 4
A
dark sorceress sinks her talons into the land…
War-hero
Notch has abandoned his king and city to wage a war against his own
guilt. With the giant Alosus at his side, Notch must search the Land
of the Sun for ancient magic to bring a loved one back from the dead.
But when he arrives in the city of vipers, Notch quickly finds
himself entangled in a web of conspiracy and hidden motives as
ruthless Houses vie for the soon to be vacant throne.
Far
across the glittering sea, Notch’s home of Anaskar is still reeling
after repelling a mighty invasion. King Oseto is forced to scatter
his heroes across the world in a desperate quest for the last sea
beast and its bones. With them, he will be able to forge new
Greatmasks to protect his people and the fragile state of peace
between nations.
Yet
evil stirs in every corner of the lands. Reports of new, foul
creatures and old foes alike are growing; and worse, the King fears
that through his own weakness, he himself has unleashed the architect
behind it all.
The Raven's Price
The Bone Mask Cycle Book 5
At
last, Notch escapes the city of vipers and starts his quest to find
Qu-Sitka, the only mage able to restore Sofia. Yet Casselli and the
Prince have other plans for Notch and the mysterious bracers he
bears, sending along an Inquisitor to watch his every move. And
before he knows it, the power of the bracers begins to change
him...
Across
the sea, Flir finds herself prisoner and servant to the White Witch,
where she must protect her friends and keep the witch from finding
the bones of the last sea god – yet it is easier said than done.
And even for a dilar, Flir knows she is overmatched.
Back
in Anaskar, Seto is locked in his own struggle with not only a royal
imposter sent to replace him but also his own conscience, while Ain
finds himself stranded on an island with little clue as to where the
Stones of Shali can be found... or if they will even allow him to
save the Cloud.

Conclusion
to the Bone Mask Cycle!
Notch
finally holds the answers he sought, along with an unsuspecting
Sacrifice... but drawing all the pieces together will prove a greater
challenge – especially when it becomes clear that the Fura Leones
does not approve of such desperate measures.
In
Renovar, Flir must find a way to salvage the bones of the frozen Sea
God but Chelona has other plans for the mighty corpse, and trapped
within her now is Seto, whose frustration can only build as he
watches over but cannot warn his friends.
Equally
troubling is the floating city of Ilesinya, which now hovers
dangerously near Anaskar, seemingly poised to strike. Lord Danillo is
drawing together his allies in a final gambit to defeat Chelona and
her unstable creation, Zasemu, but none know her true plan... and
when it becomes clear, all lands will face a threat like no other.
